Launched in 2005, the Ripple Effect Awards recognize individual women and girls among our grantee partners who are making a difference in their communities—and making the most of their opportunities.
With every gift given—of time, wisdom, and funds—a ripple effect begins and expands. The ripple widens as the Women's Fund invests in women- and girl-centered programs throughout the region. The individual women and girls whose lives improve create, in their turn, an impact on their community. As a result, entire communities are enriched, and countless lives are changed.
The honorees listed here represent our progress toward a shared goal—a world in which the voices and visions of all women and girls are fully valued and embraced.
The 2009 Ripple Effect Award Recipients were announced at our Annual Celebration on November5, 2009.
