The winds of change have begun to blow

We aim to be at the forefront of female adventurers fighting man-made problems through women-led initiatives.

Our mission is to facilitate women-led, environmentally-focused adventure projects through fiscal sponsorship, mentorship, community, sustainability counseling, and other resources.

We aim to highlight the importance of the journey as a main component to inspire creative work, allowing for fluidity in the outcome of a project.


WOMEN AND THE WIND INC is organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes in accordance with section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. These purposes include, but are not limited to, educating and empowering women/persons on self-sustainability, ocean and ecological conservation, by means of social action and the support or initiation of ocean and/or women-centered projects.

    ADVENTURE

    Highlight the importance of the journey as a main component to inspire creative work, allowing for fluidity in the outcome of a project. 


    EMPOWER

    Build a supportive community where women can receive mentorship, guidance, and encouragement from experienced professionals, breaking down barriers to entry for their own projects.


    SUSTAIN

    Act as stewards of our planet, with the goal of fostering peak environmental awareness and minimal human impact.

    • ocean plastic pollution
    • single-use petroleum-based materials
    • too few examples of modern-day women explorers
    • difficulty in fundraising for first-time, low-budget, high-risk adventure projects
    • the idea of there being a “right way” to live, based in comfort and complacency
    • Bring awareness to “the problem(s)” through projects within or funded/supported by WOMEN AND THE WIND – which invoke interest, educate, and push the limits of comfort. These projects reflect seemingly dangerous, difficult-to-accomplish adventures or voyages, documented and shared (through a medium most suitable for each project)– all with a focus on sustainability, eco-regeneration, and women’s empowerment.
    • Mentorship programs (launching 2025), offering support and guidance through various stages of project development.
    • Workshops with various experts in their fields on the topics of project planning and execution, fundraising, eco-regeneration, media production, and more.
    • Fiscal sponsorship to facilitate project fundraising.
