mission-aligned partnerships advancing economic empowerment.
02 | Invite
Selected organizations enter a streamlined process with clear
timelines, expectations, and open communication.
03 | Vet & Evaluate
Our Grant Cycle Committee conducts a data-informed review
of impact and sustainability. Final decisions are approved by our
Board of Directors.
04 | Invest
We award large, multi-year grants designed to maximize
long-term outcomes – providing sustained funding that allows
partners to focus on results rather than ongoing fundraising.
• Multi-year, sustained funding
Partners plan strategically,
not year to year
• Board level oversight &
stewardship
Accountability at every level
of decision making
• Ongoing impact measurement
Strengthening performance,
not just monitoring it

evaluation
Rigorous assessment
anchored in quantitative and
qualitative outcomes
• Partnership beyond the grant
Access to networks, platforms,
and community
05 | Analyze
Twice annually, we review impact and financial data, tracking
short- and long-term progress together while strengthening
performance alongside our partners.
06 | Promote
We amplify grantees through storytelling, events, and connections
to corporate and foundation networks, strengthening the broader
ecosystem serving women and girls.
