The Giving Circle for Women’s Advancement
A thriving community of purpose-driven businesses helping women enter and stay in the workforce by giving back together.
In 2022, W4W is working to raise $250,000, bringing together hundreds of donors and pairing them with vital nonprofits serving women across the U.S.
There has never been a more urgent time to invest in women.
All women, no matter their race, religion, or political stance should have:
- The opportunity to pursue their dreams, while feeling secure that their basic needs are met first.
- The freedom to hone in on their strengths and passions that become the means of their financial independence.
- The tools and resources to get there.
But there are many factors that prevent women from achieving their dreams: poverty, lack of resources and education, loss of rights, discrimination, and so much more.
“Out of $248.4B donated to philanthropic support in 2018, only 1.9% went toward women and girls.”
IUPUI Women’s Philanthropy Institute
The gap is still too wide. Philanthropic giving and private investment dollars do not meet the need for education, rehabilitation, job training, and other programs that elevate women in the workforce.
What if small businesses had the power to change that?
You can make your business a force for positive change.
But the challenges may seem too steep.
What would your business look like if:
You could make a commitment to becoming a force for social good regularly?
The time and resources it took to find a truly impactful nonprofit disappeared?
You had confidence and trust in where your donations were going?
Your community knew that you were dedicated to the advancement of women?
“Working for Women makes it so simple to support women in need! I love that they aggregate the dollars to provide greater help than just one donation could – and that they’ve already vetted the receiving organizations so you don’t have to.”
Angie Byrnes, Spark 180
Together we can do more.
With consistent donations within a growing, global community, small businesses are making a huge impact. You have the ability to become a force for social good and are helping to provide the resources needed to invest in women the way philanthropy alone cannot.
Investments in women have a ripple effect into the world around them. They’re proven more likely than men to put their income back into their families and communities, which in turn, reduces mortality and illiteracy rates and increases the GDP.

When you are part of a Giving Circle, you become part of a new landscape of philanthropy. A Giving Circle is traditionally known as a group of people with similar interests and values, who have come together to pool their money to donate to one organization. Our Giving Circle does something similar, but it involves a community of small businesses and a thoroughly vetted nonprofit pool so we can help businesses maximize their impact.
