Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is right around the corner falling on Nov. 30th. Starting in 2012, this global movement is a day of showing generosity. The day encourages generosity through volunteering, supporting organizations, and spending time with others.

At U.S. Army Women's Foundation, our mission is to promote public interest in the Army and recognize and honor the service of all U.S. Army women, past and present. We are dedicated to empowering, honoring, and being a dynamic advocate for telling their stories.

We want you to be a part of our mission in recognizing U.S. Army women.

We appreciate your support and encourage you to participate in this global event.

FUTURE FOR ARMY WOMEN IS BRIGHT, SECRETARY SAYS

"Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, the first woman to serve as the Army’s top civilian leader, said she hopes to continue setting an example for women in the service.

“I hope by setting an example of what's possible as a woman in the Army, [that] that will hopefully inspire and motivate younger women in the Army who are just beginning their careers,” Wormuth said during the Army Women’s Foundation Leadership Symposium at the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Exposition."

This year AWF hosted our Women's Leadership Symposium at AUSA on Monday, October 11, 2021. The U.S. Army Women's Foundation Leadership Symposium featured a tribute to the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion and panels " Coaching for Transition Success: Honor, Empower, Connect" and "Why I Served."
