Who We Are

What We Do

1

Feminist leadership training

At the Feminist Idea Lab, we know that representation is not enough. Thus, we equip participants with Feminist leadership training to help them think deeply about the kind of leaders they want to be and craft a leadership philosophy rooted in Feminist principles and practices.

2

Mentorship

The lab provides 12 months of cohort mentorship to help participants transform their ideas into reality. Together, we craft their vision, goals, budget, and plan. The lab also provides one-on-one coaching support for participants as needed.

3

Seed funding

The lab provides $1000 seed grants to support projects. The grants are awarded in two installments—at the beginning and half-way through the 12-month mentoring program.
