Honoring Women. Celebrating Legacy. Empowering the Future.

March is Women's History Month, a time to reflect on the incredible contributions of women throughout history and in Shante Avant Newour own communities. At the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis (WFGM), this moment is even more special as we launch the Power of HER—a campaign that honors the strength, leadership, and legacy of women who inspire change every day.

This year, we celebrate not just a month, but a milestone—30 years of empowering women and families through Philanthropy, Leadership, and Collaboration. Since our founding, we have worked alongside countless women who shape our city and make a difference every day. The Power of HER is in all of us—in every woman who leads, nurtures, builds, and uplifts her community in ways big and small.

Throughout the month, we invite you to join us for events that recognize and amplify the voices of women making a difference. From a gathering in sisterhood at Ladies Night Out with the Memphis Grizzlies, to celebrating Women Who Spin & Inspire at the Brooks Museum, these moments are designed to connect us all.

We’ll be celebrating our 30th Anniversary all year, and we hope you’ll stand with us in honoring the Power of HER and the impact of collective giving. Together, we are shaping the future of Memphis.

With gratitude,

Shante K. Avant
President & CEO
