Give the Gift of Stocks, Bonds or Mutual Funds
Appreciated securities are perhaps the most cost-effective assets to use in making a gift. When you transfer ownership of a long-term holding to Women’s Empowerment, you receive a charitable deduction for the full market value and you bypass capital gains tax.
If you would like to make a gift, please follow these instructions or contact Sarah Adams via email sarahadams@womenempowerment.org
Leave a Legacy
Through a charitable bequest, you can support the empowerment of women and change the path for their families and children for generations to come.

You may also consider hosting a peer-to-peer or crowdfunding campaign by asking friends, family, colleagues, and other networks to donate toward a goal you set for your campaign. A common example is to launch a fundraiser for your birthday or request donations to your campaign in lieu of gifts for your wedding, anniversary, or baby shower.
Please contact us at 619-333-0026 or email info@womenempowerment.org to let us know about your event or campaign. Approved events may use our logo and mission to help raise funds to benefit WE.
Join or Start a Giving Circle
Magnify your impact by bringing together a group of people with a shared passion. Have fun, learn about important issues related to women’s economic empowerment and poverty alleviation, and raise funds to support women experiencing poverty around the world. Giving circles are a way for individuals to pool their money to make a greater positive impact. WE started as a women’s giving circle committed to the vision of empowering women with the tools, access, and resources to work their way out of poverty.
Join an existing giving circle at WE or start your own. Current circles are in the Julian and Rancho Peñasquitos areas of San Diego County, as well as in the Bay Area in CA. Contact us for giving circle ideas and a guide to starting one: 619-333-0026 or email info@womenempowerment.org
