In difficult times, the need for support is more crucial than ever.
Globally, there are 13M fewer jobs for women than prior to 2020.*
Global crises often hit women first and harder, and their consequences can last a lifetime, as inflation and the ongoing pandemic disproportionately impact women, especially working mothers.
And organizations that support women and girls get minimal philanthropic support.
Only 1.8% of US giving is directed to charities focused on women and girls annually.**
