It is very hard. We are in the process of applying for subsidies and we are seeking funds. We are trying to set up projects, because the government will fund projects but not the setting up of a headquarters. But if you have enough funded projects, you can establish some sort of headquarters. The real life meetings do a lot to help.
People get to know each other.
They are already enthusiastic about the organisation, but meeting other people who are also enthusiastic, helps a lot. From the three and a half thousand Dutch WebGrrls, about one thousand actively participate in one or more lists. The rest just sit back and read the discussion summaries we make. I want to help in the process of reaching more women, of organising more events and activities. If you put out a call because you want to organise something, many of them will come forward to do it.
