Letter from the Founder

I founded the AngeLink Community Foundation to create a radically new ecosystem of financial inclusion and to raise women up to their highest potential. Our mission is to advance economic equality and gender parity by building the world’s largest community to support women. Our transformative social impact programs help to address the root cause of economic disparity that continues to deny women a voice on a global level. ACF fuels creative initiatives through grants to charitable partners to create a better future and affect real and positive change. Join us. Join the movement.

With love, Gerry Poirier
