SOCIAL GIVING PROJECT – GET INVOLVED!
Diamond Sponsor
Year after year, the women of IAEE continue to come together as a community with a commonly shared goal to give back to the local communities in or near our event city.
For 2026, we are shooting for the stars to reach our goals by supporting The Giving Foundation for Women & Children as WLF attendees come together, along with our industry, to gather needed items for children, as well as provide monetary donations. A silent auction will also take place with great items to bid on. A portion of proceeds will go towards donation efforts as well as towards the Helen Brett Scholarship education fund that assists IAEE members with professional development and learning opportunities.
MISSION: To support economically disadvantaged women and children through scholarships, essential resources, and community programs that help families move forward.
EMPOWERING LIVES.
TRANSFORMING FUTURES.
WORK & IMPACT: The Giving Foundation for Women & Children (GFWC) is a nonprofit organization committed to helping women and children in the local DC community overcome barriers and build stronger, more stable futures. The mission started as a small operation in 2010 by Shawn Yancy and later became a nonprofit.
Over the years, GFWC has provided scholarships to young mothers pursuing higher education, along with mentorship and support that help them stay on track academically and personally. GWCC serves families through programs that provide essential resources such as winter coats, toys, and other basic needs for children. Their work is rooted in the belief that when women are supported and children have what they need to thrive, families are strengthened, and communities grow stronger.
Join us in supporting this community and make an impact on the lives of others!
