My Nonprofit Reviews

Our Vision: Women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential and live their dreams. Our Mission: Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. We are investing in Dreams.

Soroptimist International of Ogden, UT (SIO) was chartered on 27 May 1939 by Soroptimist International of the Americas (SIA), a 501c3 charitable organization whose mission is to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Since 1921, SIA has grown to about 1,300 clubs in 21 countries and territories throughout the world. We have been recognized as a Non-Government Organization (NGO) with a permanent seat at the United Nations.

The SIO service area is women living in Cache, Box Elder, Weber, Morgan and northern Davis counties. Our focus is helping women achieve economic empowerment through education. We have given the Live Your Dream Award since 1972, to more than one hundred women for well over $80,000. We will continue to give the award annually as it is the major element of our organization's Dream Program. We are recognized by SIA for outstanding management of our program. In our 80th year, we received the Mattie Wattis Harris Rose Award for Volunteer Organizations from Your Community Connection and we were honored by the Ogden City Council in 2019 for continued excellence in supporting the residents of Ogden, Utah.

I have been a member of Soroptimist of Ogden since 1999. Every year I value this organization more. I am so proud of the work we do locally and beyond to support women and girls. Our Live Your Dream Education and Training program is nationally recognized and locally provides funding for women who are sole source of income for their families who are working to improve their lives through education or training programs. I am so proud of these women who are struggling to stay in school and achieve their dreams and I am proud of our organization that is helping them. Because I believe in this organization, I volunteer each year to work with the amazing women in Soroptimist of Ogden to continue our support to other women.
