D O N A T E
At Women of Winter, we believe in the power of community and collective action. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to increase diversity in snowsports. However, we can't do it alone – we need your support to make a lasting difference in the lives of the women we serve.
Please join our campaign with Give Big Gallatin Valley. On May 2nd - 3rd our organization will be part in our local Day of Giving to connect with our community of supporters. We need you to tell your friends and family members about the important work we do and ask them to join us in helping to make a difference. All giving will end at 6 PM on May 3, so make sure to get your gift in on time!
By making a donation to Women of Winter, you directly fuel our mission to inspire and empower women and girls to get outside, to be courageous and to boldly embrace and pursue their dreams by carving their own paths in the mountains and in life. Every dollar makes a difference, bringing us one step closer to achieving our goals.

Our Commitment to Change
As Women of Winter grows, so does our mission and the lens from which we view it. We are committed to creating safer spaces and opportunities for women to succeed and become leaders in snowsports, with the prioritization of Black, Brown, and Indigenous Women of Color - the single most excluded demographic in the snowsports industry.
