Your Hour, HER power!
We need your help with this DFS worldwide initiative to activate companies and individuals to donate one hour of their salary in March to help another woman get started in her career. We will be honoring groundbreaking women in leadership positions across various industries who choose to donate an hour of their pay for HER.
In the past year we have seen women continue to face innumerable challenges. Women have left the workplace at an alarming rate and those that have remained struggle with significant issues with balancing childcare and housework, increased workloads and loss of confidence.
By giving the equivalent of just one hour of your pay, you not only give a Dress for Success woman access to programs, services, and tools that will help her achieve economic advancement, but you also join us in celebrating women leaders for the pivotal role they play in driving business and economic gains, and social and cultural change.
