Get Involved
Fund the Movement
Help us honor the work of our Pentecostal Pioneers and support the work of Emerging Leaders.
When You Give to the Hidden Figures Funds, Here's What You're Supporting:
You're helping uncover the untold stories of Pentecostal women—revivalists, founders, healers, and justice-seekers—whose names and legacies have too often been left out of our theological and historical records. Through the Hidden Figures Research Fund, you’re equipping scholars to preserve these powerful histories through research, archives, and oral storytelling.
At the same time, through the Hidden Figures Church Planting Fund, you’re investing in the future by supporting Spirit-led, justice-oriented church planters, especially women and leaders of color, who are continuing the legacy of Mama Leo by building prophetic, healing faith spaces across the country.
Your gift fuels remembrance, restoration, and planting new seeds for the next generation of spiritual leaders.
Give today. Rewrite the record. Build the legacy.
Give Directly to the Mama Leo Fund at Union Theological Seminary
