About the Soroptimist Live Your Dream Awards

 
The Soroptimist Live Your Dream Awards assist women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills and employment prospects. Every year, more than $2.9 million in education grants are awarded to over 2,000 women, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, domestic violence, and/or substance use disorder. 

Although the awards address economic need and make a difference in a practical way, we know they also affect women in a personal way. Women who have received the award report an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem, and pride for being recognized for having the courage to change their lives.
