Enhancing and inspiring lesbian philanthropy

D. Sabin, J. Morris

Diane Sabin has a long history of Lesbian activism and philanthropy while supporting herself in full-time non-activist jobs. In 1997, Diane joined with her friend, Andrea Gillespie, who had envisioned a unique organization entitled 100 Lesbians and our Friends. lts goal is to enhance and inspire Lesbian philanthropy for social change and cultural memory. 100 Lesbians and our Friends is a grassroots initiative developed by San Francisco Bay Area Lesbians who share information about and a passion for Lesbian projects, organizations, and individuals in need of funding. 100 Lesbians and our Friends is the vehicle through which Diane encourages Lesbians to live examined lives, to stretch our generosity, and to develop our strength as individuals and as a community.
