Financial Picture

While the LMPF has experienced growth in revenue over the past three years, our expenditures have remained stable and allowed us to allocate more funding to our programmatic endeavors. In 2019 our administrative expenses were 2 %; 2020 – 2021: 5%; 2021 – 2022: %. Our goal is to keep it under 10%.

In March 2021, the LMPF launched a signature fundraising campaign for the Foundation, The Year of the Woman Influencer Campaign. The campaign is a six-week, business centered campaign to raise funds for the LMPF, promote the LMPF and engage those in business vocations or those looking to create a new business of their own. Each Nominee participates in a series of activities aimed at highlighting their business, highlighting the LMPF and raising funds. Each Nominee has a Mentor to work with them through the six weeks of the campaign
