Organization Description:
Vital Voices Global Partnership is a leading international non-profit organization. We invest in women leaders who are tackling the world s greatest challenges from gender-based violence to the climate crisis, economic inequities, and more. We are venture catalysts, identifying leaders with a daring vision for change and partnering with them to make that vision a reality. What sets Vital Voices apart is we make long-term, holistic investments in leaders with bold ideas for change — providing them connections, capacity, a network of peers, financial support, and visibility for their work. We have provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Laureates, US Youth Poet Laureates, Prime Ministers, award winning innovators and breakthrough social entrepreneurs. Over the past 24 years, we have directly invested in more than 20,000 change-makers across 184 countries, who in turn have improved the lives of millions of people in their communities and countries.
Today, Vital Voices has a staff of nearly 80, headquartered in Washington, DC. In the coming years we have a bold vision to dramatically scale our impact.

This Women s embassy is a hub of activity, events, and collaborations — bringing together women leaders and their allies to tackle the world s greatest challenges.
