As 2021 comes to an end, we would like to thank all of our donors, board members, trustees, and supporters for their continued belief in IAWF's mission. This year was full of new challenges, but we are grateful that we would could continue to organize virtual events and support our mentees across the country. We have also started planning in-person events to safely bring our community back together and we look forward to what’s in store for the new year. Here, we look back at some of our accomplishments over the past few months:
Virtual Events
We also awarded over $34,000 in educational scholarships for our mentees in financial need across the country. These life-changing awards are only possible through our donors' support, and we are grateful to everyone who has contributed to our scholarship program. Please email contact@iawfoundation.org for more information about how you can donate to any of our scholarship funds, or establish your own fund in your name or in honor of a loved one.
You can also sign up or renew your tax-deductible IAWF membership here, and learn how you can select IAWF as your charity of choice on Amazon Smile here. Thank you again to everyone who dedicated their time and resources to furthering our mission this year, and we look forward to a brighter 2022!
