\"\"In a bold move to increase awareness and action on vital global issues for women,\u00a0Global Fund for Women<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0International Museum of Women (IMOW)<\/strong><\/a>today announced they have merged. The merger brings together Global Fund\u2019s expertise on issues, grantmaking and fundraising with IMOW\u2019s skills in awareness raising, online advocacy and digital story-telling. Under the terms of the merger, IMOW becomes a part of Global Fund for Women; Global Fund headquarters will remain in San Francisco, CA. with an office in New York City.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled by the exponential potential that this merger will create,\u201d said\u00a0Musimbi Kanyoro<\/strong><\/a>, President and CEO of Global Fund for Women. \u201cBy combining our on-the-ground expertise and networks with IMOW\u2019s creativity and digital advocacy we see a unique opportunity to engage and mobilize the next-generation and to make a deeper impact than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe see this as an unprecedented opportunity.\u201d said\u00a0Clare Winterton<\/strong><\/a>, Executive Director of the International Museum of Women, now VP of Advocacy and Innovation at the Global Fund for Women. \u201cCombining IMOW\u2019s unique skills and content with the Global Fund\u2019s deep expertise and reach will bring together resources and advocacy for the world\u2019s women. Together, we\u2019ll have far greater ability to illuminate critical issues, tell important stories, reach new audiences and spur wider action for gender equality.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both organizations are united by their vision of an equitable and sustainable world in which women and girls have resources, voice, choice and opportunities to realize their human rights. IMOW\u2019s fusion of culture, media and online advocacy programming complements Global Fund\u2019s on-the-ground relationships and grant-making activities with grantees and human rights organizations around the world. IMOW engages over 700,000 annual visitors, including visitors to global events and exhibits. In the past three years IMOW has held physical events and installations in 14 countries on five continents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Global Fund\u2019s international network includes 20,000+ donors, a global online community of more than 650,000, and more than 2,000 volunteers and 4,700 grantees on the ground in 175 countries. Together, the two organizations will engage more than one million visitors per year through social media, email and Web, in effect doubling their impact as separate entities.<\/p>\n
