Giving Tuesday: Together We Can Transform Lives

It’s Giving Tuesday! I invite you to pause and reflect on the profound impact we continue to make together. This day is not just about giving; it is a powerful opportunity to further our mission and empower more women and girls. At Soroptimist International of the Americas, Inc. we believe that every woman deserves the chance to pursue her dreams, just as you and I have.  

Thinking about my own journey, I am filled with gratitude for the remarkable women who have inspired me with their resilience and determination. Their stories remind us of the crucial importance of support and empowerment. Your contributions have the power to uplift women just like them. Women striving to break barriers, achieve their goals, and create a brighter, more peaceful future for themselves and their families.

This year we were able to award two additional federation-level Live Your Dream Awards, furthering our commitment to empowering women and girls. Last year alone, Soroptimists distributed over $3.4 million in Live Your Dream Awards to more than 2,300 women globally.  And with your support, we aim to do more in 2026.  

And the best part is that every donation made will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000 thanks to the incredible generosity of Nick Stenson Beauty, Heidi McNamar and Rosemarie Burton of SI/Greater Hartford, CT (North Atlantic Region), and Charlie Rodgers of SI/Modesto, CA (Sierra Pacific Region). This means your gift will have DOUBLE the impact!  

Imagine the ripple effect of your support. Your donation is not just a gift, it’s an investment in hope, resilience, and a brighter future. Together, we can inspire and empower women to break free from the chains that hold them back and create a peaceful, thriving world for themselves and their families.  

donate now — your gift will be matched!

Thank you for being an essential part of our mission. 

With heartfelt gratitude,  

Sue Riney 
2025-2026 SIA President
