Together Women Rise

Together Women Rise is a powerful community of women and allies dedicated to achieving global gender equality. We have hundreds of local chapters across the U.S. where members learn about and advocate for gender equality issues, give grants to organizations that empower women and girls in low-income countries, and build community to forge meaningful connections that increase our strength and collective impact. Together Women Rise invites qualifying programs to submit applications in April for grants awarded in the following year. The programs must meet stringent requirements for selection and agree to oversight, monitoring and evaluation during the life of the grant. At monthly meetings in living rooms, dining rooms and break rooms, our members become educated and inspired to make a positive difference through collective giving. Since our inception in 2003, we have distributed over $5 million to programs throughout the developing world.
