Summer of Love
Spreading Love. Fueling Opportunity.
This summer, Michigan Women Forward is on a mission to share the love. Through small business spotlights and tributes to women leaders and our own incredible staff, we’re showcasing the people who make Michigan thrive. Now, we’re inviting YOU to join the movement.
Double your impact! Meijer will match all gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $15,000 during our $30,000-in-30-days finale.
Why Your Support Matters
At Michigan Women Forward, we believe love is action. Every dollar you give fuels real change for entrepreneurs and leaders across Michigan.
- Fueling Small Business Dreams: From pierogi makers in Detroit to counselors in Grand Rapids, your support provides microloans, coaching, and resources to help entrepreneurs start, grow, and thrive.
- Investing in Michigan Neighborhoods: When we invest in small businesses, we invest in the communities they serve — and you call home. It means more revenue and jobs, and fewer boarded-up storefronts.
- Recognizing Women Leaders: We honor and amplify women making an impact in communities statewide, ensuring their voices and leadership shape Michigan’s future.
- Empowering Through Education & Equity: Your gift helps remove barriers — like access to capital — so more people, regardless of background, can pursue their dreams.
When you donate, you’re spreading love in the most powerful way: helping others build the lives and businesses they imagine.
And thanks to our partner Meijer, your gift has twice the impact — they’re matching donations up to $15,000 during the last month of the Summer of Love campaign. That means every $1 becomes $2 to fund small businesses and create opportunities statewide.
