How much money have you raised so far?
What impact have you made?

We’re launching this initiative on Earth Day, April 22, 2020 so we don’t have results just yet. But stay tuned, we’ll be reporting that information when we have it.

Where does the money go?

Funds are donated to Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors in support of the Empower@Work Collaborative. This organization focuses on knowledge, skills, and networks that benefit women workers while helping establish gender equality in global communities.

How do I know this money is helping people?

Empower@Work Collaborative is governed by some of the most respected NGOs in the world: the United Nations International Labor Organization and International Finance Corporation’s
Better Works; BSR’s HERproject CARE International; and Gap Inc.’s P.A.C.E. program.

What If I want to give more? How else can I help?

We’re not currently taking direct donations, but you can help grow our impact by amplifying our message.

How many women will you reach? Where are they located?

It’s hard to say right now because this is our launch year. But jointly, our partners have reached over 3.5 million people in over 18 countries including Cambodia, Tanzania, Jordan, Haiti, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Singapore, Bhutan, China, and India.

How are these women educated? What are they learning?

The Empower@Work Collaborative has developed a curriculum that’s generally accepted as the ideal model for developing health, finance, and leadership skills. Education generally takes place in the workplace, whether farm or factory, though training can also connect a woman to other resources such as banks or medical providers.

What do women have to do with climate?

Women are very attuned to the needs of their community and are likely to bring those concerns into business decision making. With an education, women gain greater control over how resources are used and family planning, which can directly impact the climate. Education also allows women to make more informed decisions about how to keep their families safe, and strengthens their ability to adapt as circumstances change.
