| Founded | 1997 (Resource Generation traces its origins to a 1995 gathering of New England donors and activists that became a collaborative in 1996. It was established as Comfort Zone in 1997 and formally renamed Resource Generation in 2000, with an office in Cambridge. It operated under fiscal sponsorship for 17 years before becoming an independent 501(c)(3) in 2015.) | 2007 (WMM's own story page dates the founding campaign to 2007, launched by Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ambassador Swanee Hunt and Chris Grumm, then chief executive of the Women's Funding Network. Women Moving Millions, Inc. was later established as a separate entity with a $1.5m grant from J.P. Morgan Chase.) |

| Primary audience | People aged 18 to 35 in the United States who have access to wealth or class privilege placing them in the top 10 per cent by net wealth or income, and who want to redistribute rather than grow that wealth | Women with significant personal wealth who are willing to commit at least $1 million over ten years to organisations and initiatives benefiting women and girls, plus their families and next-generation family members |
| Typical member | Members are young people with inherited or earned wealth in the top decile of the US economy. Qualification runs through personal income at roughly the 90th percentile for the member's state (around $105,000 nationally, ranging from about $82,000 to $248,000 by cost of living), significant personal net financial assets, or family wealth: family net wealth of $1 million or more, parental income in the top decile, or ownership of a family foundation. A high net wealth designation covers the top 1 per cent: $1 million or more in liquid assets, an anticipated inheritance of $5 million, or family net wealth of $10 million or more. | Individual members are women philanthropists and investors who have made a formal commitment of $1 million or more over ten years with an explicit gender lens. Separate Family and NextGen tiers exist at lower annual contribution levels; WMM does not publish whether those tiers carry the same $1 million commitment. The community includes donors, impact investors and political advocacy funders. |

| Cost | ||
| Annual dues | $500 a yearStandard baseline constituent membership dues are $500 a year. RG asks all members, including alumni, to contribute 5 to 10 per cent of their overall annual giving as dues, so members who give more pay more; those for whom $500 is prohibitive may select "other" and pay the percentage instead.verified September 2026 · source ↗ | $10,000 a yearIndividual membership: $10,000 or more annual contribution to WMM, in addition to the $1 million ten-year giving commitment made to outside organisations.verified September 2026 · source ↗ |

| Event costs | Dues are framed as a share of a member's total giving (5 to 10 per cent) with a $500 baseline, rather than a flat price for services. RG states it is more than 95 per cent member-funded so that it does not compete for grants with grassroots organisations. | Not publicly disclosed: WMM runs flagship events including a NextGen Summit but does not publish registration prices.verified September 2026 |
