THE WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT FUND
READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUT NEED A LITTLE FINANCIAL HELP? LET’S TALK.
Celebrating and showing profound appreciation and support for the women in our Basque communities is pretty darn important to us. This fund is designed to support women who need financial assistance in shaping our communities, furthering our culture, and enhancing our Basque identity.
