About Helen LaKelly Hunt
Helen LaKelly Hunt has been active within the women's movement for the past 25 years. She is founder of The Sister Fund, a private women's fund dedicated to the social, political, economic, and spiritual empowerment of women and girls.
Committed to building a society that invites the full participation of all, Helen has long recognized the need to strengthen women's rights and leadership. She sees the unearthing of women's contributions throughout the ages, within both the social and religious spheres, as being a crucial aspect to achieving justice in society. In 2004, Helen completed a Doctoral degree at Union Theological Seminary in New York City where she further explored how theology or a spiritual perspective has fueled the work of women's activism. Her dissertation focused on "The Religious Roots of American Feminism." (This work became the basis of her book, Faith and Feminism: A Holy Alliance, which was published by Atria books in the summer of 2004.) Helen's doctorate built on her past academic studies, which include three degrees from Southern Methodist University: a B.A. in Secondary Education, an M.L.A. in Liberal Arts, and an M.A. in Counseling, along with an honorary Ph.D. from the Chicago Theological Seminary.
Helen has been recognized for her leadership in building the women's funding movement, including the following awards: the 2007 Lead Award from Women & Philanthropy, the National Creative Philanthropy Award from the National Network of Women's Funds, Gloria Steinem's Women of Vision Award and Action Award through the Ms. Foundation for Women, the Equity Leadership Award from Nontraditional Employment of Women (NEW), the Laura Parsons Pratt Award for Outstanding Achievement on Behalf of Women and Children from the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, and as an Honoree of the Center of the Elimination of Violence in the Family.
