Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment (WISE)

Give to Our Girls Campaign

When you donate to WISE, you make an impact that will last generations of immigrant and refugee women, girls, and those on the feminine gender spectrum. Your support funds a diversity of opportunities and activities that foster the education and skills development of our women and girls so that they can pave their own futures. Our work includes but is not limited to:

One of our major goals this year is to reach more supporters and connect with those who care about the issues and concerns of immigrant and refugee women and girls. We believe that by coming to together in unity of a shared cause, we can create thriving communities that are safe and violence-free.

Help us welcome 50 new donors by the end of this year. These 50 new donors will help jumpstart our fundraising development plans so that we can create a sustainable impact on our women and youth. We are already 40% of the way to our goal. Will you join our cause?

About WISE

WeLEAD --- a college and career navigation program for immigrant and refugee women or adults on the feminine gender spectrum.

Parent Encouragement --- a support program for immigrant and refugee parents that helps them navigate school systems and access resources that can foster healthy family development and wellbeing.
