Women United

Leading The Way

When it comes to a passionate and committed group that gets results, Women United delivers. By bringing together philanthropic leaders, Women United is building a community where everyone can afford to save for an emergency, access affordable, quality child care, and have the opportunity to achieve their potential in the workplace.

United in purpose, these change-makers uplift families in poverty and ALICE households – those struggling to afford the basics. Through fundraisers, volunteer projects, networking, and advocacy, we can tackle racial and economic inequities to help ALICE rise. In northern New Jersey, Women United has raised more than $1 million to remove barriers that prevent families from achieving financial stability.

Our regional group is part of a powerful, global network of 55,000+ women from 165 communities in six countries, all devoted to creating a legacy of change that benefits everyone.

Become Women United

As a supporter, you’ll be part of a diverse sisterhood of like-minded philanthropic women, participating in volunteer opportunities and networking experiences with the ultimate goal of helping ALICE families rise.

Meet ALICE

ALICE   is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, and represents the growing number of families who are unable to afford the basics of housing, food, child care, health care, technology, and transportation. These workers often struggle to keep their own households from financial ruin, while keeping our local economies running.
