THE PHILANTHROPIC ARM OF RAISED FERAL

The Mention Fund.

Be the woman who mentions other women's names.

Surround yourself with women who would mention your name in a room full of opportunities. Then be that woman. That's why we built The Mention Fund alongside the brand, not after it.

How It Works

$5 Per Hat

Every Raised Feral hat sold sends $5 directly to The Mention Fund.

Quarterly Grants

We give microgrants of $500 to $2,500 to women taking specific next steps.

Real Stories

Recipients (with permission) become brand stories. Real women, real next steps.

What It Funds

Certifications, filing fees, deposits, laptops, and the other concrete costs of a real next step.

What It Doesn't

Existing debt, vacations, and vague plans without a defined next step.

How to Apply

Two pages. Five questions. Quarterly. Reviewed by our Council. Decisions within four weeks.

THE FLYWHEEL

She buys a hat. The hat funds a grant. The grant funds her next step. Her story brings the next buyer. Repeat.

We're not a charity. We're a flywheel.
