OUR VISION:

 

     The Trust is inspired by the vision of solidarity, involvement, and privileged relationships between
      women, with the aim of support, mutual growth and reciprocal freedom.

      We believe by establishing relationships with other women, and working together, everyone can
      move forward, gain ground individually and as a group.

      From this may grow an improvement of relationships in general, and even of the relationship with
      the planet on which we live.

WHAT WE DO

     The aim of the Trust is to finance programs and ideas of individual women, women's groups and
      women's associations, whose purposes are supporting feminine freedom, encouraging and
      sustaining women's projects and lives.

      The Nel Nome Della Donna Trust’s aim is financing programs and ideas of individual women, 
      women's groups, women's associations, whose purposes are supporting feminine freedom,
      encouraging and sustaining women's projects and lives.

      The Nel Nome Della Donna Trust gives grants to women's projects, and endorses initiatives in
       order to collect funding.

 

   THE TEAM:

 

    Money is often the limiting factor in the success of both small and large freedom's projects. The
    women who with their first  donations constituted the  Trust  recognize that money is important,
    and above all they  wanted to put back in circle their personal wealth, placing at other  women's
    disposal not only commitment and energies but funds too.
    This intention is shared by the contributors both small and large who have joined the Trust.

 

THE  SETTLOR

 

 

             Giovanna Foglia, born in Milan and nomad by  nature and  heart, has  lived and travelled 
             extensively  in  Mexico,  working  in innumerable professions: architect and cook,
             craftswoman  and  businesswoman,  builder, pedlar, goldsmith.      
             She is also a great golf player.     At one point in her life she fell in love with free flight with a
            paraglider, staying for four years more in the sky than on the ground.                         
            She always trusted in women's strength, and eventually decided to establish the
            Nel Nome Della Donna Trust in 2004 with just her money earned.
