We are looking to raise money to keep these efforts going and also provide equipment, education, and mentoring for women and girls who aren’t afforded the opportunity to fish whether it be, spin angling or fly fishing.
Our first action item is to become a 501(c)3 non-profit. That will allow us the ability to seek grants and corporate funding to support our mission. Once we receive our non-profit status, Fishanistas will begin to reach many of its short-term goals, including being financially stable and help with getting more women out here fishing. This will help promote more women of color in the fishing industry, and would also like to offer monthly excursions to different places and unique opportunities to learn other forms of Angling.
