Success Story: EmpowHERment

Searching for a unique way to raise money

As anyone who’s been involved leading nonprofits and other causes knows too well, money doesn’t always flow as generously as their organizations wish it did. When the cash flow river dries up, it becomes exceptionally more difficult, if not impossible, to achieve impact goals.

EmpowHERment needed a unique way to raise money to finance its operations and fulfill its mission. The EmpowHERment team began looking for a creative solution that would enable them to secure funding in a fun and enjoyable way, without any heavy lifting.

Opening a community center

Thanks to the funds, the nonprofit was able to open the EmpowHERment Community Center, a shared space in Clearwater where women come together to help each other become the best versions of themselves.

The nonprofit recently launched the EntreprenuHER Academy, an eight-week program that helps women become successful entrepreneurs and provides a $500 grant to each business.

EmpowHERment also used some of the funds to create and sustain a feminine product pantry, which supplies women in the Clearwater community who are struggling financially with the items they need to stay healthy.

To date, EmpowHERment has delivered 200 holiday meals to families in need in the community. The organization has also provided back-to-school resources to 100 families. Today, more than 180 individuals are involved with EmpowHERment, offering support, resources, and counseling to those who need it.
