From our inception,
In Mulieribus' mission statement has included both an artistic and
philanthropic component. A portion of every concert proceeds will
go to benefit various non-profit organizations that serve our community,
particularly women and children in need.
For the 2009-10
Season, In Mulieribus is proud to partner with Sisters
of the Road, an organization that exists to build authentic
relationships and cross-class community through our philosophies
of nonviolence, gentle personalism and the community organizing
model. Sisters works toward systemic solutions that reach the roots
of homelessness and poverty to end them forever. All proceeds from
this season will benefit Sisters of the Road.
