Led with care. Run with integrity.

The women we serve, and the donors who make our work possible, deserve full transparency. Here's who guides SheLeads Forward and how we hold ourselves accountable.

Governance

How we're governed

Structure

  • A board-governed organization with no voting members; the board holds decision-making authority.

Our commitments

  • A Conflict-of-Interest Policy binding on every director, officer, and key employee.
  • No part of our earnings benefits any private individual; assets are dedicated to our charitable mission.
  • Fiscal year runs January 1 through December 31.
