✨ About Pay Her Forward

A Feminist Fundraiser Rooted in Mentorship + Redistribution

Pay Her Forward is I2I’s annual philanthropic initiative. It has a dual focus on: (1)  bi-directional mentorship and (2) fundraising for organizations serving women, girls, and nonbinary people. 

• Bi-directional mentorship: We seek mentorship from more experienced women professionals via a paid Advisory Board, and in return, we mentor women and underrepresented professionals who are earlier in their careers through mentoring sessions and formal paid internships at I2I.
  

• Fundraising: At the annual American Evaluation Association conference, we host a “Happy Hour & Headshots” fundraiser to raise money for an organization serving women, girls, and nonbinary people in the city where the conference is held. To date, we have raised nearly $8k for organizations such as Girls Inc., Women with a Vision (NOLA-based), the Women’s Foundation of Central Indiana, and the Women’s Foundation of Oregon.

At the heart of PHF is a belief in shared prosperity—when women support women, we all rise.

"By uplifting women leaders, we collectively elevate the value and use of our work."
