The value of our global community resonates

across countries, cultures, and generations

IWF and its mission of advancing women’s leadership are just as important today as in 1974 when we were founded. In profession after profession, the glass ceiling is still there, it’s just higher. The value of peer-to-peer support from a global community of outstanding women leaders is simply unmeasurable. Women inspiring women never gets old.

It is critical to invest in IWF’s future to increase support of our mission and member services, and we need consistent and predictable funds to do so.

STEP UP TO ELLY’S LADDER

Elly’s Ladder is an annual giving society named for founder, Elinor Guggenheimer, that allows us to transform our digital communications, expand our global footprint, and better connect the most accomplished women leaders around the world.

Elly’s Ladder is a five-year giving society, represented by the five rungs of the ladder, in which members pledge five successive years of support at one of three levels: Bronze: $1,000; Silver: $5,000; or Gold: $10,000.
