The Possible Woman Foundation International, Inc. (PWFI) was founded in 2001 and granted 501(c) 3 status in the spring of 2002 to help address the need to educate and support women as they grow into the various stages of life beginning with the early college years and flowing through to retirement.
The Possible Woman Foundation International's vision affirms that we will provide an environment in which women can exchange business and life strategies, empowering themselves to be self sufficient for themselves and their families. The Possible Woman Foundation's mission is to empower women of limited means through educational opportunities and mentoring. In conjunction with educational scholarships, we focus on developing the leadership capacity of professional woman through mentoring, at all stages of their careers, and to offer opportunities for life enhancement for these women.
Goals
The Possible Woman Foundation believes that teamwork, integrity, collaboration and passion are the key elements in making a significant difference in women's lives in our current economy, thereby enabling women to become wealth creators for themselves and their families. The Possible Woman Foundation's goals include:
- The accumulation and disbursement of scholarship funds for non-traditional women to enhance academic pursuits, to attend conferences and to take advantage of other learning opportunities. The funds provide these women, who have not previously been able to experience these types of scholarship opportunities, with the chance to grow, learn, and develop their possibilities;
- Creation of a strong network of women who can be involved in a highly leveraged mentoring program, offering guidance and support to women who otherwise do not have easy access to mentorship programs;
- Our PWFI Board members act as advisors who individually share their vast and diverse experience, provide mentoring and expand the women's training; which enhances the formal education that the scholars are pursuing and better prepares them for future employment and leadership.
With more women moving into leadership positions, the need for mentorship and team leadership skills grows ever more demanding, and the Possible Woman Foundation International aims to fill a part of this need in our society. PWFI believes that teamwork, integrity, collaboration and passion are key elements in making a significant difference in women's lives in our current economy, thereby enabling women to become wealth creators for themselves and their families.
