During International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we look back at the incredible women who paved the way for us. But at SHE Counts, we also look forward.

We believe the best way to honor women's history is to make history by supporting, helping, and empowering the women and girls living right here in Poweshiek County today. Whether it’s providing period dignity, fostering a love for math in young girls, or sending a first-gen student to college, we are actively building a stronger community.

History isn't just something we read about—it’s something we build together every single day. Your donation directly funds these local, life-changing initiatives.
