Women Identity Purpose (WIP) is one of the best non-profits around for women. The founder, Cynthia Jones, has an amazing heart for serving single mothers. After attending a WIP event, I strongly believe that women will continue to be empowered through education with this organization for years to come..

I started off as an attendee and really enjoyed the event. I have seen the fruits of this great organization. People connecting on so many levels.
As an accomplished author, I was so moved that I donated book sales to WIP, because I am so sold out to this concept.
The organization is not about bunch of programs, it's about meeting the needs of individuals and the community.

I was introduced to Women Identity Purpose through its founder and president and learned to love the mission and vision for this charitable women's organization. The beauty of this organization is that it serves an overlooked population--the working poor single parent who is doing all they know to do to provide the best life possible for her family. WIP is doing a stellar job in making a difference in this population through its programs and services. They are to be commended for their hard work and dedicated service.

I received a scholarship from Women Identity Purpose Organization. I was really honored and touched by the care of the organization, as well as impressed with their willingness to help. The scholarship took me a long way towards my goals. I must say, my success today as a professional is the direct result of the help I received that enabled me to live in another culture, country and gain experience employers were looking for within my degree field.

I have had the privilege to attend two events of WIP. Both events were positive and uplifting for women. I am thankful to have been involved with this organization whose focus is to celebrate and help females better themselves in every area of their lives. I excitedly gave donations to WIP because I knew that whatever I gave, would benefit some woman or girl who needed help or who had achieved greatly. Encouragement and celebration are two awesome gifts to give women, whether it done verbally or tangibly.

I've enjoyed working with WIP as a volunteer. The vision is strong and meaningful. Each of the events provide structure and hope for all women. WIP offers hope to women that may not know their value and connect them with others that are willing to assist them in reaching for the stars.

Hello, my name is Rose Hines and I would like to thank all of you for the work you do. My daughter entered me in the contest for Mother's Day. Even though I did not win, I won just the same. The flowers that were sent in my daughter's name are simply beautiful. The unique basket is something I will keep long after the flowers are gone. I just wanted to thank all of you and to encourage each of you to keep up the good work that you do. Thank you so much and may God bless each of you!

My recent first volunteer effort was to facilitate a workshop on Interviewing for several of the women associated with one of WIP's community partners. The experience was rewarding because it offered me an opportunity to connect with others that could use my expertise. The ladies were able to gain inisight and suggestions on how best to approach the job market. They were engaged and found the time well spent.

I would encourage anyone to consider volunteering with WIP and supporting the organization financially. It will be time and money well spent.

I have enjoyed working with WIP (Women Identify Purpose) as both a volunteer and now as a board member. The vision has allowed me and many other women to be touched both emotionally as well as mentally. Each event that I have been involved with has provided a forum where women are able to uplift other women by sharing not only their struggles but also their accomplishments. The events that I have attended as a volunteer have finally given purpose the struggles and trials I have personally endured as a single mother with a limited budget. When women know that they are not alone in their struggles and there is someone who has endured AND overcome, they are empowered by the strength of those around them. This organization not only gives hope to women who feel powerless but connects them with other women and other organizations that will help them step by step rise to the next level of success. I have been able to encourage others that I have met as well as be encouraged when I needed that extra push! Thanks, WIP!!

I have supported Women Identity Purpose (WIP) since its inception because I believe in their platform to help women. Specifically, I believe their programs directed to working mothers are extraordinary because they offer options that are not only needed, but also, educational. Resources are provided that extend far beyond the initial meet.

WIP seeks to interconnect the community allowing for more transparency and exposure. I look forward to their model being duplicated across the nation.

Congratulations Women Identity Purpose for more than 7 years of service in Illinois and Tennessee. And, thank you Cynthia Jones for your tireless efforts, you continue to move the mountains out of the way and forge ahead with the vision.

Blessings,

I have attended two events sponsored by WIP and have enjoyed both greatly. Both evets featured inspirational women who shared their stories of success. I was also able to meet other women, who were in the audience, and learned about them and their organizations. I would recommend their women events to any woman.

As a volunteer of WIP, it is really great to be a part of a non-profit organization that gives so much to women in the community, who other wise would not have support at all. And beyond the organization itself, the organization is lead by women who have so much passion for the progress of other women. This is the type of organization that I enjoy giving my time to, because I know in giving to this organization, I am giving to other women and their families. WIP keep up the great work!

Women Identity Purpose (WIP) is geared toward the overall well being of all women. If there is a need WIP is there. Whether the need involves helping another agency or nonprofit meet its staffing needs for a particular event that speaks to the mission of WIP OR if the need involves WIP hosting an event just to encourage women of all backgrounds....where there is a need WIP is always available to step in and help. I've attended several events and I've always left more motivated and inspired not only to do more in my own life but in the life of others.
