National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL)

Published purpose

This 58-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: fundraising strategy through the identification of prospective donors; development of a customized membership and donor database; development of a communication tool to support diversified fundraising; and implementation of a strategic planning process. The first supplemental funding was used to further build National Association of Women and the Law’s capacity to strengthen its fundraising and diversify its funding base, while adapting to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and a transition period for National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL). The second supplemental funding will be used to implement a 50th Anniversary fundraising campaign to further grow NAWL’s organizational capacity through increased visibility, strengthening relationships, enhanced fundraising skills, and donor engagement. NAWL will also create an official document for staff and the national steering committee focused on preserving institutional knowledge., research options for funding from the private sector, and implement their financial sustainability strategy.
