Our mission is to identify and empower underrepresented young women leaders by providing them with the resources they need to thrive in college and early careers.

Through the Shine On Scholarship, we aim to instill three core values in the scholars we support:

Courage to stand up for what they believe in
Confidence to trust themselves and lead with conviction
Commitment to bettering their communities and the world around them

Last year, we raised a total of $15,000 which was granted to seven scholars, allowing those recipients to cover the cost of textbooks, allowing them to engage in unpaid internships and other academic endeavors.

Our goal for the year ahead is to raise $15,000 which will go directly toward granting seven scholarships in June of 2025. These funds are provided upfront to support these young women as they embark on their educational journeys—helping to remove financial barriers and enabling them to fully embrace their potential.

By supporting the Shine On Giving Circle, you are directly investing in the future of these incredible young leaders, empowering them to live out these values and create positive change.

No gift is too big or too small—every contribution has a lasting impact.

What is a Giving Circle?

A giving circle is participatory philanthropy in which individuals pool their money and collectively decide how to distribute.
