Partnerships

Working Together to Expand Opportunity for Women

Lift Women’s Foundation believes that meaningful change happens through collaboration. Partnerships allow us to expand opportunity, reach more women, and strengthen communities in ways we could not do alone.

Our partners share a belief that investing in women creates stronger families, stronger businesses, and stronger communities. Together, we combine resources, expertise, and networks to support women building businesses, building careers, and building communities.

Our Partners

Royal Neighbors of America

Lift Women’s Foundation was originally founded by employees of Royal Neighbors of America who wanted to create additional opportunities to support women and communities. From the beginning, Royal Neighbors employees volunteered their time, leadership, and passion to build the foundation and its programs.

Over time, Lift Women’s Foundation has grown into an independent nonprofit organization with its own programs, partnerships, and national reach. Royal Neighbors of America continues to be a strong partner through leadership involvement, collaboration, volunteerism, and shared mission alignment. While Lift has grown beyond its origins, the partnership remains an important part of our history and continued impact.

IHMVCU

Lift Women’s Foundation partners with IHMVCU to support women entrepreneurs through our microloan program. IHMVCU serves as the lending partner for the program, helping provide access to capital for women who are starting or growing small businesses.

This partnership is built on shared values — supporting financial stability, entrepreneurship, and opportunity within our communities. By working together, Lift Women’s Foundation and IHMVCU help women access the financial resources they need to build businesses, increase income, and create economic opportunity for themselves and their families.

Marcia Erickson – ActionCOACH

Lift Women’s Foundation partners with Marcia Erickson of ActionCOACH to provide business coaching and training opportunities for women entrepreneurs. Through business coaching programs and the Business Master Class, women gain knowledge, tools, and confidence to grow and sustain their businesses.

Access to capital is important, but education, mentorship, and business strategy are equally important to long-term success. Through this partnership, women in the Lift microloan program receive not only financial support but also education and guidance to help their businesses grow and succeed.

This partnership reflects Lift Women’s Foundation’s belief that investment in women should include both capital and knowledge.

Why Partnerships Matter

Lift Women’s Foundation is able to expand opportunity and impact because of partnerships with organizations and individuals who believe in investing in women. Partnerships allow us to combine expertise, resources, and networks to support women more effectively and create lasting impact.

Opportunity grows where we invest — and partnerships allow us to invest more, together.

“Supporting Lift Women’s Foundation is deeply personal as I believe in creating spaces where women feel seen, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.”
