The Washington Area Women's Foundation started the "Be That Woman" movement in 2009 to attract a new breed of socially connected donors during the recession. Based on the insight that when we invest in women and girls, we all grow, the movement employed a powerful, animated viral video, blogger outreach, a website with consumer generated content and social media to build a community of engaged supporters. That year they raised nearly as much as they had in the previous 3 years combined. And the average donation size was up 35%.
