Women Making an Impact Challenge
Celebrating Women.
Empowering the Next Generation.
The Women Making an Impact Challenge honors extraordinary women who lead with vision, compassion, and courage. Nominated by their peers, these women are recognized for their dedication to philanthropy, mentorship, and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
But this challenge is more than recognition. It’s about fueling the future. Each nominee has the opportunity to champion the mission of Nerdy Girl Success by raising funds that provide free career and leadership programs for high school young women. Together, we’re celebrating women who inspire today and empower the leaders of tomorrow.
How the Challenge Works:
- Community members nominate inspiring women in October.
- Nominees who accept the challenge participate in a 10-week fundraising campaign in support of Nerdy Girl Success programs.
- Every dollar raised creates life-changing opportunities for young women in our high school clubs.
- At the end of the campaign, the nominee who raises the most funds is named the 2026 Woman Making an Impact Champion.
Whether they raise $500 or $5,000, every nominee makes a lasting impact on the lives of the young women we serve.
