What Makes Us Unique

Business and Professional Women’s (BPW) Foundation is transforming workplaces with women and employers. Through its groundbreaking research and unique role as a convener of employers and employees, BPW Foundation strives to redefine today’s workplace. BPW Foundation encourages partnership to create successful workplaces. Successful Workplaces are those that embrace and practice diversity, equity and work-life balance.

BPW Foundation welcomes your financial support. For every gift given, 95% directly funds our programs supporting working women, their families and successful workplaces. Your donation matters.

BPW Foundation recently conducted a survey among 500 Women small business owners. This baseline data includes motivators, barriers to entry, the influence of gender, the impact of technology, as well as financing experiences and mentoring relationships. Initial results were presented by CEO Deborah Frett at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) America meeting in June 2013. Full results will be available shortly. The survey will serve as a cornerstone for future research and program development, and a follow-up report will be presented at CGI 2014.
