- New or revised policies that clearly define the role of the board and its relationship to the Organization
Additional details
Fundraising strategy and training for board members on how best to meet their fundraising obligations.
What we have in place
- We currently have bylaws, board contracts, and quarterly meetings, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have organizational fundraising resources, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,610 , allowing us to Hire an additional trainer who can reach up to 1,000 participants per year!
We are a young and growing organization, with a young and growing board! Although our board is deeply committed to our mission, they are all new to being board members and have never undergone formal training. We would like to seek expert advice on how to best govern the board, and on how to ensure they have the necessary training and resources to do their roles effectively. Especially related to fundraising, we need to equip the board members to be advocates for Resonate in order to fulfill our mission of unlocking leadership potential of women in East Africa.

Our mission
Resonate empowers women and girls through storytelling, working with them to build agency, confidence, and leadership.
What we do
Based in Rwanda, Resonate partners with organizations focused on women’s skill building and increases their capacity by incorporating narrative-based leadership training into existing programming. Harnessing the power of storytelling will allow women and girls to leverage their knowledge and skills to create a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
The Gap:
Women need access to education and financial programs—the benefits provided by those services are necessary for the betterment of women’s lives and continued economic growth. Yet despite recent gains, women only make up 19 percent of parliament globally; own less than 2 percent of land in the developing world; and in Sub-Saharan Africa, women hold only one-third of paid jobs outside of agriculture.
In order to see accelerated progress toward closing gender equality gaps, programs that provide women with skills and services must also focus on confidence, agency, and leadership.
How We Help:
Resonate partners with organizations focused on women’s skill building and enhances programs by offering narrative-based leadership training. Resonate plays the unique role of working with these organizations to offer expert training on public speaking and personal presentation. Each workshop is customized to the needs of the community that each program serves.
Resonate facilitates women's leadership training using a framework rooted in storytelling, empowering women and girls to tell their story generates agency, confidence, and leadership.
