Donate
As a nonprofit organization in Minnesota, WomenVenture relies on generous gifts from individuals to fulfill our mission.
Your donation will help a woman assess her readiness to start her own business, provide an entrepreneur with financial consulting for a loan to launch her business, or provide low-income women with scholarships to attend our entrepreneur training classes.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Sustaining Gift
Demonstrate your ongoing support of our mission through a recurring monthly, multi-year or annual pledge.
Stock Transfer
A gift of stock is an easy way to help us promote our work and empower women. By donating long-term appreciated securities, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to charity, your contribution can have a greater impact than if you donated cash or the after-tax proceeds from selling stocks. When you donate stock to charity, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value. And because you’re donating stock, your contribution and tax deduction may instantly increase over 20%.
Legacy Gift
A gift in your will or estate plan will create stability for the future of WomenVenture.
