Let's make IWD one of the biggest giving days of the year
International Women's Day (IWD) has been around for well over a hundred years, but so too have many of the issues that impact women's equality.
Join the call-to-action for all IWD Events to incorporate an element of women-focused fundraising and/or charitable promotion, and let's help speed up the rate of progress.
IWD provides considerable support for philanthropic organizations working to support and advance women's equality. Below are some of the impactful organizations IWD has been supporting for many years. Research further nonprofit organizations in the IWD GIVING Directory to nominate the recipients of your support.
