Members can nominate a leader making a difference in the lives of women and girls!

Through our Nation of Neighbors℠ program, we empower community leaders by recognizing and supporting their work to serve women and girls through a nonprofit, business, or program. Each year, $100,000 in grant money is distributed to Nation of Neighbors recipients, helping them expand their impact. Do you know someone who is worthy of a Nation of Neighbors award and grant? This is your chance to recognize their work!

All members are invited to nominate a deserving leader.

By nominating a leader for a Nation of Neighbors award and grant, you’re not just recognizing their efforts, you’re helping expand their impact, creating a ripple effect that strengthens their communities.
