Bais Chana is the best online school/community in the world with the best teachers I have ever had the privilege of learning with. All Bais Chana teachers are the most knowledgeable, positive and giving teachers of Torah and Chassidus. I stop my work every day at 2pm EST to attend the daily zoom classes with Itty Kay and a beautiful community of women from around the world. It is the most educational and inspirational part of my day. The weekly Chassidus classes at 10:15am EST on Sundays taught by phenomenal Rebbetzins of Chabad is the best start of the week if you are looking for strength and inspiration and deep Torah insights. And if you are interested in learning Tanya, there is no one like Rabbi Kaufmann. Only half an hour a week on Tuesdays at 2:45pm EST opens up a whole new world of the intimate part of Torah. Bais Chana is the biggest Blessing for all Jewish women, I sincerely hope that more women discover this gold for the soul.

I give to AAUW every year and renew my membership as I strongly believe in their mission of advancing equity for women and girls. AAUW's staff are hard-working, members are passionate and their work is critical. In particular - my passion lies in higher education and pay equity. AAUW's work in both of those spaces continues to be strong. They have been supporting women's graduate education since 1888, awarded over $6M in fellowships and grants this past year, and have trained thousands of women in salary negotiation. I'm incredibly proud to be affiliated with AAUW!

I’m incredibly grateful to have encountered Woman Made Gallery at this point in my artist journey. The submission process was seamless, and as a new mixed media artist working from a photography base with digital interventions, it meant a lot to have my work genuinely considered. Being selected for my first exhibition ever felt both affirming and encouraging. What stood out just as much was the care the team put into everything that followed. From thoughtfully shaping my artist page to inviting me to attend an artist walkthrough before my own exhibition opens, they created space for me to step into this moment with confidence. I also appreciated being encouraged to share my social media so people can follow along as I continue to grow and share my work. Woman Made Gallery doesn’t just exhibit artists, they support them in becoming. I’m honored to be included. ~ @LisaMarieSocial

I have been a volunteer with AIWR for two years now and I continue to be impressed with how supportive they are of their mentors and mentees. The educational opportunities that they offer to women who might not otherwise have any options is remarkable. I am proud to be a volunteer in this organization and am looking forward to volunteering with them for years to come.

The founder, director, and board are incredible. Sarah Symons, the founder, has dedicated the last 20 years of her life doing her part to combat human trafficking and walk alongside victims in India and Nepal.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Her Justice, Inc. for their unwavering commitment and professionalism. For several years, their team of attorneys guided me through every step of my legal journey—accurately handling documentation and providing constant updates in my native language, Spanish. This level of accessibility made a world of difference. Thanks to their pro bono assistance, I achieved two major milestones: securing a stable immigration status in the U.S., which has allowed me to find quality employment and live peacefully, and finally reuniting with my son so he can live by my side. Although these legal processes were lengthy, the team never gave up. They provided all their services entirely free of charge and with genuine care. I highly recommend Her Justice to anyone in need of expert legal support. They don't just handle cases; they change lives. — Beatriz Rubin & Luis Eduardo Cruz Rubin

There is no greater ho or than seeing the work that WGEF does make sustainable and powerful change in the Gulu community. I am proud to work for and with WGEF!

The Divine Mother Center (DMC) is the spiritual home I never had before! A place for true soul growth! Through their DEVI-LOKA App I’ve found kindred spirits, and a soul community where we can safely share our experiences. This wisdom beautifully bridges the Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, and it helps fill the gaps I've always felt existed in our Western Christian traditions. The best part is that the knowledge is based on tried and true practices, whose origins are in Indian Palm Leaf Manuscripts thousands of years old. To my great dismay I never met Sri Kaleshwar, who made this knowledge and wisdom available to the Western world, but it doesn't seem to matter - it's as if he’s always been part of my life anyway! I have greatly benefited from the practices and wisdom shared, and anybody who practices these wisdom channels on a regular basis can experience the benefits for themselves. The DMC and the DEVI-LOKA are run by true masters! I am very grateful! Thank you!

The first time I learned about PCI Media Impact was during a social studies research training I took part in at my college (I studied journalism), located in Cali - Colombia in 2014. <br><br>When I moved to New York, I would often try to reconnect and collaborate with them in one way or another, simply because I was fully impressed and amazed by all the work that they had done. <br><br>As a volunteer, I got the chance to listen and understand the company “behind the scenes”, as well as each day’s activities and big bets. I also translated a couple print materials and helped translate live meetings in real time.<br><br>I highly recommend volunteering for this organization because you will be able to learn from the experience; especially how stories and entertainment could transform communities.

Days for Girls is a powerful force for change. Their work in menstrual health and education helps girls around the world stay in school, maintain dignity, and reach their full potential. By providing sustainable menstrual kits and life-changing health education, they break down barriers and open doors for opportunity. Their community-driven model ensures lasting impact, and their commitment to equity is truly inspiring. Supporting Days for Girls means standing up for empowerment, education, and global progress. I worked with Melissa who runs the group out of Utah, she was amazing and super helpful in getting us a bulk order. There is a significant need for women and girls in the Federated States of Micronesia. Thank you for Days for Girls for making an impact in the islands deep in the heart of the Pacific Ocean!

I am so proud to support this excellent organization.<br>The girls are helped in so many ways to achieve their goals.<br>So many girls have graduated from school with the steady support of MGEF.<br>

Volunteering as an individual here for one full year, several times a month. I see the labor, the organization, the genuine care, the clients served. They do so much from one hub. Looking forward to my first shifts in 2026.

Mujeres de Maiz continues its mission in service to the indigenous girls of southern Mexico who want to continue their educational opportunities beyond what they would normally receive. It requires a commitment from those students who choose to go farther than most. The girls who strive to excel look to the scholarships made available to them through this exceptional organization to further their education. It's an honor to be a part of this foundation.

The work Women Employed has done, and the impact they have had, in just the last year is incredible. They continue to win laws and policies that are making a real difference for millions of working women--like the Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act, and laws in Chicago that will eliminate the subminimum wage for tipped workers and expand paid time off. I can't think of any organization that makes my dollar work harder and go farther than Women Employed.

I've had the privilege of volunteering with Just One Africa for nearly a decade, and it's been a truly life-changing experience. The organization's commitment to serving vulnerable communities in Kenya is inspiring, and their dedication to empowering local leaders is a model for sustainable development. From the staff to the communities they serve, everyone is treated with dignity and respect. I've witnessed firsthand the impact of Just One Africa's programs, and I've been humbled by the resilience and hope of the people they serve. If you're considering volunteering or supporting a nonprofit, I highly recommend Just One Africa – they're making a real difference in the lives of many.

I have worked in various non profits and as a researcher in education for many years and have seen, and read about the work MAIA has done from afar. Recently I had the opportunity to meet many of the key members of the team and see first hand the impact a project like MAIA has on creating opportunities for young indigenous women, some of the most vulnerable groups in Guatemalan society. It is clear they have demonstrated time and time again how education both in soft skills as well as academic knowledge opens doors and opportunities for young women, that otherwise remain out of reach. MAIA helps provide skills to some many amazing women and girls full of potential, who otherwise find their path covered in obstacles. They do amazing, culturally respectful work, working with and for indigenous women.

Action in Africa is led by a dedicated, ethical, and outstandingly qualified team. They are a community-driven organization designed to grow a lasting impact in Uganda and be a template for nonprofits more broadly.

The Sparkle Foundation is an incredible organization with a powerful mission. Their commitment to supporting single moms and creating lasting impact is inspiring. So grateful for the work they do and to know Samantha.

The continued efforts to prevent child sex trafficking by Compass Rose International have paid off; as of this year there were no new instances of child trafficking in the area where Compass Rose International operates. The work that this organization does is extremely vital to the area, there is a wait list of children to the center that is over double what it can currently house. <br>The work and transparency of Compass Rose International make this organization stand out.

This is a wonderful and important organization! Through its creativity and perseverance, Sanlaap North America is helping to educate and protect women in India!!

Becky's Fund is an empowering and hardworking organization. I recently suffered domestic abuse from my ex-boyfriend. It started with emotional, mental, financial abuse, seclusion and then it escalated to physical abuse. I tried so hard to get out, but every time I tried, the abuse would get worse. I was never believed and afraid for my life. The last time he attacked me, I endured multiple broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, bruises, and more. I lost myself, my physical and mental health, my friends, and then my job. I was underrepresented in Arlington Court and re-victimized by the prosecutor. I felt lost, helpless, and alone. Luckily, thanks to my yoga instructor, I met Becky. Becky BELIEVED me! She and her team took me in with open arms and treated me like a human being and sane. They have so many resources and knowledge for DV. They are a great mission that starts at the root of where domestic violence begins and and tremendously to end END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. <br>During this time, my ex-boyfriend began to harass me online. Becky and her team immediately contacted me to help me. They supported me financially, legally, emotionally, and mentally. If not for Becky's Fund, I don't know where I would be today or even alive. Becky's Fund gave me strength, helped me regain my confidence, educated me in multiple ways, and helped me pick up my entire life. Becky's Fund also helped me prepare myself for my new job and worked with me to better prepare myself for interviews. Becky's Fund NEVER gave up on me and continues to help me in my healing journey. <br>This organization is one of the most hardworking, efficient, and the brightest in ending domestic violence. Remember, you are not alone, I promise it will get so much better when you're out, and Becky's Fund is a great place to start.
