THE GLOBAL VOICE FOR WOMEN IN MUSIC
Founded by award-winning soprano and passionate advocate Gabriella Di Laccio, the Donne Foundation leads a global movement to amplify womenâs voices in music.
From building the worldâs largest database of women composers to breaking a Guinness World Record and partnering with iconic institutions like the Royal Albert Hall, we are reshaping the music industry to celebrate and elevate womenâs talent.
Through advocacy, connection, and empowerment, we invite you to join us in creating a more equitable and inspiring future for music.
In addition to our advocacy and partnerships, the Donne Foundation publishes groundbreaking data on gender inequities in music. Our research, featured in The New York Times and BBC World Service, continues to inspire conversations and drive change across the industry.
At the heart of the Donne Foundation is a belief that true equality will only be achieved when women have equal opportunities to create, perform, and lead.
