Thank You for Investing in Dreams: Celebrating Our 2025-2026 Donors
Looking back on everything we achieved together this past year, none of this would have been possible without your contributions. Thank you for your generosity. Because of you, Soroptimist® is closer than ever to our Big Goal of investing in the dreams of half a million women and girls by 2031. Since 2021, we have reached 204,957 women and girls, which puts us 41% of the way there!
Dreams Becoming a Reality
Every woman and girl we support has her own dreams—whether it’s completing her education, having a safe place to live, finding a job that supports her family, or building a future she once thought was out of reach. Thanks to your support, these dreams turn into concrete plans, and those plans have the power to transform their lives.
Every woman and girl we serve carries a dream. She may dream of finishing her education, of a safe home, of a career that supports her family, or of a future she once thought was out of reach. Your support helps turn those dreams into plans, and those plans into lives transformed.
During the 2025-2026 club year, your gifts of more than $1.8 million made a remarkable difference:
2,537 women received a Live Your Dream Award®.
More than $3.6 million in education awards went directly to women working toward a better life.
30,888 girls in 14 countries and territories took part in Dream It, Be It®.
83% of Dream It, Be It participants created achievable goals for their future.
And that's only part of the story. Click the images below to explore the full impact of your generosity.
Thank You For Empowering Women and Girls
Behind every number is a person. She might be a mother who went back to school and built a more secure future. Behind others are a teenager who now believes in herself, and a family whose path forward looks brighter. As one Brazilian awardee told us, "No one ever told me I could achieve my dreams. Now I know I can!"
Thank you for giving women and girls access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone whose support has given us the strength to achieve our “Big Goal”—the dream we’ve been working toward.
