[1][2] In 2013, Mama Cash supported 118 women's, girls and trans rights organisations with 4.3 million euros.
[3] Mama Cash was founded in the Netherlands in 1983 by five feminists: Marjan Sax, Dorelies Kraakman, Patti Slegers, Tania Leon and Lida van den Broek.
While initially uncomfortable with her inherited wealth, Sax felt it was important that activism be funded, and that money and ideals go together.

[8] To mark the thirty year anniversary of Mama Cash's existence in 2013, Alliance magazine interviewed Nicky McIntyre, the Executive Director.
