We Are Soroptimist

Soroptimist International of Anchorage is a group of dedicated volunteers in a global network organization that provides women and girls with access to the education, training, and support they need to achieve economic empowerment.

Celebrating 75 Years

In 2020, Soroptimist International of Anchorage celebrated our 75th year of professional women supporting programs to improve the lives of women and girls. Thanks to the generosity of our friends and donors, we were able to continue this work, including:

  • Provide grants to assist women heads of households pursuing degrees in higher education to better support their families,
  • Provide grants to women who are pursuing a plan of study which will result in a degree or advance her skills and knowledge in her career through college, university, or trade school
  • Provide financial support to victims of sex trafficking
  • Provide holiday gifts to women living in local shelters
  • Support programs helping youth get off the streets and into safe housing
  • Provide baby necessities to new mothers who are at risk or homeless

These are truly unprecedented times, but this work is important and we need your help. In 2021 and into 2022, our usual methods of fundraising remain in question. We are taking this opportunity to ask for your help in continuing our mission. Please consider donating in honor of Soroptimist International of Anchorage’s 75 years of service in the community.
