From atlantawomen.org/what-you-can-do/inspire-atlanta ↗About this program
Inspire Atlanta is a community impact and fundraising program that supports the Atlanta Women’s Foundation (AWF). Participants commit to raising funds that fuel AWF’s mission to be a catalyst for change in the lives of women and girls in Atlanta. When the challenges women and girls face are addressed, the entire community benefits.
This experience brings together women corporate and business leaders who want to use their influence, networks, and resources to make a difference in their community by raising critical funds in support of AWF.
In return, Inspire Atlanta offers opportunities for personal growth, meaningful connections, and deeper awareness of the issues facing women and girls in metro Atlanta. Participants leave with a sense of accomplishment, a stronger network, and a clearer vision of how they can drive lasting community change.
Each year, the Atlanta community nominates prominent women leaders for the program, and AWF extends an invitation for them to apply. Previous Inspire participants then select the top candidates to join Inspire Atlanta in the coming year.

Are committed to raising at least $10,000 in support of AWF’s mission.

How are participants selected?
Selected nominees will be invited to apply this fall, and final participants will be chosen by the Inspire Atlanta Selection Committee, comprised of program alumnae.
