social impact

women’s mental health has long been underfunded, undervalued
and under-acknowledged in empowerment work. we believe in
the intersectional role a women’s and girl’s mental health plays in
her life and empowerment journey.

*this year, we’re investing over $2m in women’s empowerment &
mental health resources globally.

approach

women and girls are change agents in their communities all over the world. when a woman’s mental health is supported, she is able to make change for herself, her family and members of her community. for over a decade, we have been funding women’s mental health and empowerment work. we re-affirmed our commitment in 2018 when the founder of kate spade new york died by suicide, and today we continue to integrate mental health into our women’s and girls’ empowerment work globally.
