Thank you for participating in Gather for Good, SI Davis’ Women’s History Month Fundraiser!
For the month of March, Soroptimist International of Davis is fundraising with the help of partner establishments in Davis. Your purchase at these restaurants and bars will go toward funding our crucial programs benefiting women and girls in our community.
Make a purchase at these locations during these times to help support SI Davis’ programs. Be sure to mention “SI Davis” or the “Gather for Good” event to make sure we get credit!
Soroptimist International is a global volunteer movement founded in 1921 working together to transform the lives of women and girls through education and economic empowerment on a local, national, and international scale. We are a network of 76,000 members in over 120 countries and territories and have General Consultative Status with the UN regarding women and girls.
Soroptimist International of Davis (SI Davis), founded in 1954, is an active, tight-knit nonprofit composed of women from all walks of life who are devoted to doing good in our community, especially for women and girls.
We pride ourselves on our experienced board and being good stewards of our funds. Here’s a look at some of our club’s programs:
Every year, SI Davis gives individual cash grants of up to $5,000 to women who serve as financial head of household (i.e. works to support dependents) while concurrently pursuing an education, including undergraduate degrees, trade schools, and certification programs.
Since 2015, SI Davis has partnered with Martin Luther King, Jr. High School in Davis, providing a career development program for its students. Our focus is on career building, social-emotional learning, and hearing from career speakers from our community.
Human trafficking is a regional issue that SI Davis has been grappling with for some time. Our committee has worked hard over the years to assemble “rescue backpacks” to distribute to local hospitals and law enforcement for women and girls who have been rescued from trafficking situations. They contain clothes, hygiene products, blankets, and resources. These backpacks are often the only belongings the women and girls have at the time of being rescued.
Named after one of our signature programs, the Live Your Dream Education and Training Awards for Women®
