This is an amazing move and I love the purpose of the investment. Women as the main focus of the investment, is so meaningful to me. As I was reading through the article, I can’t help but keep nodding with so much to agree about the real role of women in the society. I give respect to these organizations who strive to make a difference.

This is a truly miraculous gift to women and girls. Thank you so much for recognizing a great long overlooked need. How does one apply for your consideration to invest in one’s empowerment. I have a plan to be set free from the empoverished state I find myself, but as all endeavors, the dream requires funding. There are so many women with amazing talent, skills, and creativity, but no way to get it off the ground. I have found in my interaction with these women, that they feel imprisoned without a way of escape. This may sound like a situation on another continent, but it is right here in the USA. What do we have to do to qualify for this help to freedom? These women including myself are hard working. We just need someone to believe in us and be willing to invest in us. Your organization may be able to help. Thank you for any consideration and willingness to do so.

In my opinion, there should be a much stronger emphasis placed on world population control which is directly controlled by women. The earth can only sustain so many people, no matter what the Catholics say. I donate to a nonprofit which has no religious affiliation.

‘Focusing’ on a quarter of the world’s population. THAT’S a narrow focus for you.

I believe in Foundations. I believe in the good they want to do, but, soon, one will also have to travel across the USA and witness the growing empoverished, those who are left behind, and those who lost it all thanks to the NY gurus… so, please, put in your agenda a coast-to-coast visit to Real America, and sprinkle some of those well-meaning dollars on those who need it the most.

This is a great article and thanks. It must have been a lot of work to write!

By the way, I was reading how that actress Kristin Davis has volunteered to help your dad find some clothes that make him look good!

I think he should send her a big bouquet of flowers to thank her. As you mention in your article, women in America are so underserved.

Thank you Jennifer on behalf of women and girls everywhere who remain or are rendered voiceless & invisible, and on behalf of those of us who try every day to help them gain their rights and dignity. Your leadership is timely and will surely contribute to making a difference in millions of lives globally!

This is a great article and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for writing it.

I hear that Jennifer’s husband is a frequently-performing pianist, and I would love to hear him perform with Bernadette Peters, perhaps when she is in Buffalo, New York, the weekend of Sept. 20th to open the season for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Blue Cross Blue Shield Pops Concert.

Maybe Peter and Berndette could perform a few songs together at a local venue in support of a local charity in Buffalo for women and girls…or for any other organization in need in that city.
