Progress & Impact

To our steadfast supporters,

In 2023, Ladies Who Launch expanded our reach, deepened our impact, and watched in awe as the women & non-binary small business owners in our community took their ventures to new heights. We saw a 650% increase in applications received for our annual grant program, and developed new initiatives and resources to meet this need. In doing so, we grew the number of small businesses served annually by over 450% and saw our digital support tools leveraged more than 100K times on ladieswholaunch.org. We brought free, educational events to Denver, CO and Belfast, Northern Ireland, reached hundreds via free virtual programming, and drove $225K in grants directly to underrepresented founders.

Absolutely none of this progress would have been possible without your generosity and belief in our mission. On behalf of our community, thank you.

With gratitude,

Sarah Friar & Kelly McGonigle

Co-Founders, Ladies Who Launch
