Help four programs in Washington State build opportunities for girls to be healthy, happy and successful.

Why we care: Participating in sports is not only important to a girl’s physical and mental well-being, it also develops critical leadership skills for a promising future.

How we are solving this: Women’s Funding Alliance is helping 30 girls participate in leadership-based athletic programs and seeding the costs of a new summer soccer program. The positive impact of girls participating in sports has been documented; including improved health, better body image and elevated careers.

We know that across the United States fewer girls participate in sports than boys. As they enter high school, the rates for athletic participation plummets. Further, not all girls have equal access to resources to participate. Supplies, transportation, and even coaches can be costly, creating additional barriers. We are not okay with that!

Women’s Funding Alliance is collaborating with four organizations–AGE UP, Girls on the Run of Puget Sound, Skate Like a Girl, and Somali Youth & Family Club–dedicated to building leadership through physical activity and sports. Each program offers a unique athletic opportunity ranging from running, skateboarding, soccer, to Ultimate Frisbee. Each program offers an innovative approach to inspiring self-esteem, leadership, and the confidence to make a difference.

By funding this collaborative effort you will expand the reach of these programs. Your investment ensures more girls have the opportunity to participate, reach their full potential, and change our world.

Women’s Funding Alliance has a long standing reputation in Washington State as a philanthropic leader. For 30 years, Women’s Funding Alliance has maximized investments through community partnerships. Leveraging the newest philanthropic tools and resources, Women’s Funding Alliance moves the needle further faster on the issues that matter most to women and girls.

For every dollar donated to reaching the project goal, Women’s Funding Alliance will match one to one—doubling the impact of your gift and supporting a total of 60 girls participation in these programs!
