Support 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.
Now is the time to invest in a brighter future for women and girls.
To unlock the full potential of women and girls, we need a global coalition of people willing to help solve the problems that hold women and girls back.
Our experience has taught us that women's empowerment comes from having self-confidence, autonomy, and financial security to control decisions about their private and public lives. Soroptimist focuses on access to education because we believe it’s the most effective path to women's empowerment.
When you choose to support Soroptimist, you join thousands of donors, volunteers, and change-makers across the globe. Their collective belief in the power of women and girls runs deep—and we know yours does too.

Soroptimist's Global Impact
"As a hopeless single parent facing unemployment, I knew that I had to change the direction of my future for myself and my children. The Live Your Dream Awards helped pay for my tuition and living expenses for an entire semester. This award taught me how to budget to ensure self-sufficiency.
"The emphasis that Soroptimist shines on women living their dreams is a powerful force that transformed the way I looked at myself. I learned how to be a survivor and let go of all the negative feelings associated with being a victim of life-long domestic violence.
"You have helped me develop into an educated mother that is taking advantage of each and every door of opportunity associated with higher education."
– Amanda C., Live Your Dream Awards recipient
