Women’s Empowerment International Fall Fundraiser

Join Women’s Empowerment International for an afternoon celebrating women’s strength and resilience at the Empowered WE Rise fall fundraiser.

Partnering with high-impact nonprofit organizations, WE funds microloans, training, education, and other holistic poverty alleviation strategies benefitting women locally and internationally. Maya Madsen, founder and CEO of Maya’s Cookies, will take the stage as the keynote speaker, discussing the barriers women face in business, in society, and as BIPOC individuals, and the importance of access to opportunities in her speech, “Putting on your Big Girl Pants in an Adverse Society: A Journey of Empowerment.” Funds will be raised through silent and live auctions as well as through general pledges, sponsorships, and donations to support the WE mission. Proceeds will fund grants for vetted, high-impact partner organizations that directly offer economic empowerment programs for women experiencing poverty and extreme poverty in under-resourced communities.
