Soroptimists are women at their best, working to help other women to be their best. The name Soroptimist means ‘best for women’ and that’s what the organization strives to achieve. There are nearly 100,000 Soroptimists in 125 countries and territories who contribute time and financial support to community-based and international projects benefiting women and girls.

We are Not For Profit, which means all members are unpaid volunteers, and all profits go to support our community projects. Each year local clubs accept applications for the Live Your Dream Awards. Our club gives out two of these awards, assisting women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families. We also honour women in the community who go above and beyond helping others, through our “Donna McCann” award. Each club also determines the needs and volunteer projects to which they can contribute to within their communities.
