Launched in August 2019, Social4Good (S4G) educates, engages, and empowers women to make a difference in Northern Virginia. Each month, S4G provides opportunities to learn about critical needs while identifying clear, actionable ways to support those needs with small donations that collectively make a big difference to our local nonprofit partners.

Goal: Provide NVFS with $4200 in financial and in-kind donations to support its Training Futures Program.

Purchase Program Supplies from Amazon Wishlist, including MS 365 subscriptions, flash drives, wireless mouse and mousepads, batteries, and portfolio organizers. Please ship items directly to NVFS Training Futures.

Make a Financial Donation Via Grapevine. Recurring and one-time donations will be used to provide scholarship assistance, including transportation assistance, to Training Futures students. Lack of funds for tuition and transportation to class is a common barrier to program participation.

Together, we have the power to shape a better world for women and girls — because when they thrive, we all thrive!

Social4Good awards “Give to Women and Girls Day” grants to She Believes In Me and Space of Her Own in recognition of their efforts to provide resources, life lessons, and mentorship to young girls in Northern Virginia.

Give to Women and Girls Day aims to amplify philanthropic support for organizations that work tirelessly to uplift and empower women and girls in our community, across the nation, and around the world. She Believes In Me and Space of Her Own were selected by S4G in recognition of the impact these small women-founded organizations are having on the lives of young girls.
