Thank you to NYSE for amplifying the important message behind #GivetoWomenandGirls day! As a female-led company, we are delighted by your support and partnership. We encourage everyone to celebrate this year’s Give to Women and Girls Day by supporting their favorite woman and/or girl-serving nonprofit at Every.org’s new Women & Girls cause page - Every.org/women-and-girls
Looking ahead to International Day of the Girl, the NYSE wanted to highlight an important event that supports gender equity. In fact, less than 2% of all philanthropic support goes to organizations dedicated to women and girls. In light of this, the Amplify Her Foundation and Women's Philanthropy Institute are co-hosting an event dedicated to ensuring every woman and girl has the opportunity to lead, thrive, and drive meaningful change.
