The Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy Indiegogo campaign is being featured this week in celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8 with other campaigns that “amplify opportunities for women.” And, for today only, Indiegogo will donate $1.00 for every $25 raised—so if you’ve been waiting to donate, today is a great day to give!
