We share one purpose.
We stand for social change for women and girls.
We are all bound to this purpose – and to one another – by these simple but powerful beliefs.
Potential is what you make of it.
Every woman and every girl holds hope within her. She just needs time, energy, and support to make it real.
When you empower women and girls, all of society benefits.
We believe, and research shows, that empowering women and girls impacts entire families and uplifts entire communities.
Social change begins when you decide that change is possible.
We are social change agents. Changing circumstances. Challenging roles. Raising expectations. Creating opportunities. Change is the first step toward making something better.
Every woman can make a difference, no matter her place in life.
No more silent majority. We insist on being heard. We each have opportunities to improve our lives and the lives of others. We need to be empowered to take advantage of those opportunities. Without apology or guilt.
We don’t just volunteer time. We volunteer our money, too.
We’ve come a long way, baby. Years ago, American women have very little financial power. Today, we are the largest economy on earth. We owe it to ourselves to have a say in how charitable funds are spent.
Money matters. And every donation counts.
We raise donations so we can make grants that benefit women and girls. It’s not just about the money. But without it – from million-dollar gifts to two-dollar donations – our good intentions and fine words are meaningless.
We celebrate the back and forth of giving and receiving.
Money given to benefit women and girls flows in a circle. Those we help today may soon be more able – and more willing – to help others in the same way. We’ve seen it happen.
We believe in focused giving. Our purpose is clear.
Don’t call us when disaster strikes. We’re working to stop disasters before they happen. We support organizations that enhance the economic independence, leadership skills, and resources of women and girls in our community.
Everyone has a voice at the table.
Our strength is connecting women and girls. All women and girls. What unites us is not our gender, our age, or our income. It is our shared point of view. Whether we are giving or receiving, helping or being helped, we believe that all participants have an important contribution to make.
The time is now.
If we want to see real improvements in our lifetime, we have to keep at it. We feel urgently that empowering women and girls is the most important work we can do. And it needs to be done now.
