Previously, Kaylyn led fundraising for the National Domestic Workers Alliance and Care in Action and also served at the Fund for Global Human Rights, an intermediary grantmaker created to pool funding to invest in grassroots human rights activists around the world. 

“Although we have seen many donors pull back in the face of fear and anti-democratic attacks, we’re also seeing brave donors double down, asking how they can show up with greater courage and solidarity. That’s why we are so excited to have Kaylyn join WDN and WDA, where she will drive a bold fundraising and community development strategy rooted in justice,” said Leena Barakat, President & CEO of WDN and WDA.

“I’m coming into this role at a moment that feels both urgent and full of possibility. Our movements are pulled in so many directions all at once: simultaneously playing defense against the unraveling of hard-won gains for gender, racial, and climate justice; fighting to protect the most vulnerable, and still visioning and planting seeds for the just future we know is possible,” said Kvochak. “This community has consistently modeled that second path. I’m honored to be joining the powerful team at WDN and WDA and to build on the 30+ year legacy of this network. It’s clear that this is a network that always steps up—moving with clarity, grounded in values, and committed to collective action in the most challenging moments.”

Resourcing movements has been the driving force of Kaylyn’s career where she worked to engage donors as long-term partners in building power. With Kaylyn on the team, WDN and WDA are prepared to move more resources in alignment with evolving movement needs and to support the leadership of the network’s donor organizers who use their expertise, skills, and connections to protect and advance democracy. 

Importantly, this rebrand puts our two organizations on more equal footing. Women Donors Network remains the name of our 501(c)(3). But the name of our 501(c)(4) political and advocacy arm is shifting slightly to Women Donors Action, giving the two organizational names equal weight to reflect their equal importance.

Our new logos feature a shared monogram that reinforces the relationship between Women Donors Network and Women Donors Action. While each organization maintains its own identity through distinct colors, the new monogram visually reflects the synergy between them.

In our new visual identity, you’ll find woven patterns symbolizing connection, plus beautiful imagery that centers our members in action. Bold typography reflecting the weight and urgency of our work pairs with a more delicate font, symbolizing both strength and care. And our new color palettes are anchored in deep green for Women Donors Action and dark blue for Women Donors Network, with pop colors to add energy and emphasis.

Even the small touches have meaning. Constellation motifs reflect how individual points of light connect to form something larger and more powerful. Layered textures and a subtle grit in our photography ground the visuals in authenticity and action.

We hope you’ll spend some time checking out our new websites for both Women Donors Network and Women Donors Action—and share them with someone who might be looking for a place to belong.
