Leadership rarely starts with a title—it starts with someone who sees your potential and makes time to help you grow. 💜

Behind so many strong leaders is a mentor, coach, colleague, or friend who believed in them before they fully believed in themselves. And the best part? That belief has a way of coming full circle.

Who believed in you first? Share your mentor story in the comments—and tag them if you can! ✨

Each year, requests from qualified women and girls’ serving nonprofits are 2-3 times greater than the dollars we have to grant.

🌟 2026 Grantee Spotlight: Dream Big!🌟

We're proud to support Dream Big! as a recipient in our 2026 grant cycle!

Dream Big! helps girls and young women from economically disadvantaged communities to achieve their dreams by providing the sports equipment, sports attire, athletic footwear, program fees, and college showcase scholarships needed to enable them to participate in sports. 🏅💪

This 3-year grant will fund the purchase and implementation of warehouse management software and the hiring of a part-time distribution center manager.

📈 Research shows that high school girls who play sports are less likely to be involved in an unintended pregnancy, have a more positive body image, experience higher states of psychological well-being, are more likely to get better grades in school and more likely to graduate than girls who do not play sports. [Women’s Sports Foundation]

By increasing the efficiency and capacity of its distribution center, this investment will help ensure even more female student-athletes have access to the resources they need to thrive.

✨ We're proud to support Dream Big!'s work expanding access to sports and creating opportunities that help girls build confidence, leadership skills, and brighter futures.
