Rebekah Corwin, Women’s Fund’s Senior Marketing and Communications Officer, brings a deep passion for communications and a strong commitment to supporting women and girls. She spent three years at the Central Indiana Community Foundation, supporting organizations across the CICF Collaborative, including Women’s Fund. During that time, she developed a strong connection to the mission and the impact of Women’s Fund’s work.
Before joining CICF, Rebekah worked as a consultant with both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, partnering with several community foundations and gaining exposure to the philanthropic sector. That experience helped shape her belief in the power of communication to drive meaningful change. Her transition to a full-time role with Women’s Fund reflects alignment with her passion for advancing opportunities for women and girls.
When telling stories about women and girls, what do you think is most important to get right?
Too often, the stories of women and girls are overlooked or treated as an afterthought. As a marketing and communications professional, my responsibility is to create space for women to speak for themselves and to represent them fully and honestly in all the ways they show up in the world.
In Central Indiana, women make up more than half the population, yet our voices are still too often minimized or ignored. In every project I take on, it is essential that women are centered, and that their stories and words are shared with care and respect.
What does it mean to you to center women’s voices in this work?
Working at Women’s Fund of Central Indiana allows me to center women in everything I do, which is a privilege. Many women never have the opportunity to fully bring their values and lived experiences into their work, and I do not take that lightly.
The women I get to meet, collaborate with, and learn from inspire me daily and give me hope. There are so many incredible women in Central Indiana and being able to help elevate their voices while working alongside a supportive team makes this work so meaningful.
What gives you hope when you think about the future for women and girls?
What gives me the most hope is the people who continue to show up for women and girls, even in challenging moments. I often think about the future my niece will grow up in, and I am hopeful that this generation and the next will keep pushing forward. Women have spent centuries fighting for the rights and opportunities we have today, and while there is still important work ahead, I believe we are ready to meet the moment.
