In order to maintain the focus and integrity of Amplify Her Leadership Network, we have adopted a Share but Not Solicit policy. Leadership Network members are encouraged to share their passions, interests, and organizational affiliations in a collaborative environment. However, members are asked to refrain from any direct solicitation for support of organizations, events, or initiatives with which Amplify Her Foundation does not already have an established funding relationship.
Under this policy, Amplify Her Foundation will not consider funding applications from organizations in which Leadership Network members hold a leadership or fundraising role unless a pre-existing funding relationship is in place. This approach allows us to keep our Network mission-driven and dedicated to supporting a shared vision for advancing women’s leadership and impact.
