THE GLOBAL VOICE FOR WOMEN IN MUSIC

EMPOWERING WOMEN. CELEBRATING CREATIVITY. RESHAPING MUSIC.

Founded by award-winning soprano and passionate advocate Gabriella Di Laccio, the Donne Foundation leads a global movement to amplify women’s voices in music.

From building the world’s 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 women’s 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.

Join us in reshaping the music industry. Explore our database, support our mission, or subscribe to our newsletter today.

Vision

We envision a world where women have equal opportunities to contribute, thrive, and lead in the music industry. Through groundbreaking research, dynamic collaborations, and global advocacy, the Donne Foundation fosters an inclusive and equitable musical landscape — one where women’s talent is celebrated, their contributions are valued, and future generations are inspired by a legacy of equality and opportunity.
