Scholarship Programs~ Sustain your life via your creative gifts

We will be offering women scholarships. Women will have an opportunity to educate themselves in ways specific to their needs--business coaching programs, self-esteem programs, financial planning services, etc. In addition to offering the scholarships, we will cultivate and keep current a list of such services and programs available via our website. All those who have skills and interest in developing this program please come forward!

Emergency Funds initiative

Many women find themselves at one time or another on the brink between success and failure, for a multitude of reasons--an unforeseen illness, a sudden separation of the family unit, a death, or perhaps poor planning--all of which, if unattended, can lead quickly to basic bottom-line survival. On a per-case basis we can help these women build a temporary but essential bridge between their impending catastrophe and a new life, giving them room to breathe and re-evaluate, by offering them small loans. Means, offered out of integrity and shared with respect, for those who aim to grow as well as care for themselves, without being shamed for the circumstances they find themselves in.

This practical and necessary leg-up also invites women to take responsibility for their circumstances, by asking them to repay the loan as well as volunteer time to our organization. This keeps us all in balance and flow, so others after them may benefit from the same support.
