The proceeds from the sales of Patchwork will be
donated to the Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund
(MMMF), a non-profit 501 (c) 3 charity affiliated
with the World Bank Family Network.
The Fund awards educational grants to women from
developing countries engaged in graduate studies
in the United States or Canada. The recipients
must demonstrate a commitment to work for the
benefit of women and children in the developing
world.
Since 1983, the Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund
has awarded more than one hundred grants totaling
over $800,000 to women from fifty-one countries.
This achievement rests on the shoulders of
dedicated volunteers, numbering in the hundreds.
MMMF was founded in 1981 to honor the late
Margaret Craig McNamara, wife of Robert S.
McNamara, president of the World Bank from 1968
to1981.
