We are celebrating t

As Giving Tuesday comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the incredible generosity of this community—and the life-changing impact your support makes possible. 💙

There are just a few hours left to take advantage of Patti Lenkov’s $7,500 Matching Challenge, which DOUBLES every gift until midnight. We’re so close to unlocking the full match—and reaching our goal of sending six young people to university next year. 🎓

Because of your incredible support, we are ONLY $1,200 away from our goal! 🙌

To close out this day, we’re honored to share a message from someone who knows the impact of WMI better than most: Success Eugene—WMI Alumna and now our Leadership Skills and Development Coordinator. 🌟

Success has lived the WMI story—first as a scholar, and now as a leader shaping the next generation. In her video, she shares why WMI’s mission matters and how education transforms not only scholars’ lives, but their entire communities. 🌱📚

Tonight, you have the chance to be part of that transformation.

Your gift helps students access higher education, leadership training, mentorship, and the tools they need to build brighter futures. 🚀

Please consider making your Giving Tuesday gift before midnight. Every dollar will be doubled—and every dollar brings us closer to changing lives. ⏰

Thank you for standing with our scholars, believing in their potential, and fueling the dreams of young leaders around the world! 🌍
