RFLD Equivalency Determination

A Critical Milestone for RFLD

Equivalency Determination Achieved!

Dear Partner,

The Women Leaders Network for Development – Réseau des Femmes Leaders pour le développement (RFLD) – a proud regional Pan-African organization with offices in Benin, Ghana, and The Gambia, is thrilled to announce we have officially received an Equivalency Determination (ED) from NGOsource, a service of the Council on Foundations.

This rigorous certification confirms our status as the legal equivalent of a U.S. public charity. This is a critical step forward that dramatically streamlines international giving.
