Making Her Mark supports women artists and creatives through funding, community, workshops, and a robust support curriculum. Please welcome our first Grant Recipients of 2025:
Melissa Sutherland Moss
Crossing Point examines transformation at the threshold—those moments and sites where body and place meet and boundaries blur. Through embodied gestures, site-specific garments, and intimate staging, Melissa explores how the self merges with the landscape, and how two become one. Melissa tells us: In making this work, I honor those who came before me while clearing ground for others to claim and expand. My aim is to bring into the world a visual language that invites reflection on how we are shaped by the terrains we cross—and how we, in turn, shape them. In doing so, I insist that our stories, bodies, and expressions are seen, felt, and remembered—standing as living thresholds between past, present, and what’s yet to come.
Grace Elaine Ward
BL!NK is a fast-paced, femme-powered musical about two brilliant best friends who create a revolutionary dating app. Sadie, shy and uncertain about the future, contrasts with Natalie, bold and determined to change the world. When their app goes viral, they're catapulted into unexpected fame-and conflict. Grace tells us: This funding from the Making Her Mark Foundation is helping us take a scrappy, heartfelt little musical from two Boise artists and shape it into a show with national reach. We are working hard to bring a musical into the world that feels joyful, empowering, and bold, one that centers women’s voices in every part of the process.
Making Her Mark
When women create,
communities transform.
Making Her Mark is a nonprofit organization that celebrates the creative power of women. We believe that women’s creativity is not just a personal gift—it’s a catalyst for transformation.
Through grants, mentorship, and a holistic support curriculum, we stand behind women who are ready to bring their creative dreams to life. Whether she’s launching a new artistic project, building a business rooted in her creative gifts, or igniting change in her community, we’re here to help her take the leap.
Because when a woman takes her creative vision seriously, she doesn’t just change her own life—she changes the world.
