HISTORY
In 2014, Pass the Torch for Women Foundation started with a simple idea – get a room of like-minded-women together and see what happens next. What formed was a robust organization whose mission grew to support women as they navigate their professional journeys. In other words, a Foundation whose sole purpose was to Pass the Torch for Women.
The funds raised through individual donations, grants, and corporate sponsorships allow Pass the Torch to provide mentorship, personal and professional development training, and networking opportunities for the women most in need. Our mentoring initiative is braced by a community of individuals who give their time and donate to our organization.
Our Foundation's Mission
We empower women through mentoring, connecting, and investing in them at all stages of their careers. We have a nationwide support network with a common goal of uplifting and empowering women. Our mentoring program allows mentors to connect with mentees from across the nation, providing them with a roadmap to empower women from all walks of life. Join the Pass the Torch community as a mentor.

Help Us Make A Difference
Our shared vision of empowered women in the workforce is supported by fundraising efforts. Funds are directed to our mentoring, and leadership development programming. Corporate partnership opportunities are also available to allow organizations to financially support the vision of equality in the workplace while engaging employees in the cause. Without people like you, we cannot provide positive impacts for women within our community who are developing professionals, single mothers, first-generation college students, from underserved communities, and so many others. We make a difference every single day in a woman’s life, and it is due to the women and men committed to the Foundation who share a passion for growing our future women leaders. Your donation shows your support for the next generation of women leaders.
