We're women! We love beautiful things. But this necklace is about so much more. It's about our shared mission to thrive as women and to help others to do so. It's a physical reminder of the commitment that we have made to be a part of the Wise community and yes... it's beautiful too!

  • The pendant was designed exclusively for Wise by New Hampshire artist, Sam Goodall.
  • Each piece is hand-fired and glazed, and strung with a unique combination of beads on a pale leather cord.
  • Every necklace is a little unique – a perfect representation of your membership in the Wise Women's Network.

Kiva Leatherman and Julie Southworth

Every month we will have an open Q&A call where you can get answers to your specific challenges from a Wise Coach. The call will be as long or as brief as necessary to address your questions regarding the month's topic. The call will also allow you to have a chance to share your success stories and hear from other women in our community. The Q&A sessions will be recorded and archived for our members.

6. Private Facebook Group

facebook

As a community, it is important that we have a place to gather – even if it's virtual. Our private Facebook Group will be a place to connect with other members, post questions and share wisdom. The group will be moder- ated on weekdays so that you can receive feedback if you need it.

And don't worry if you're not a "facebooker." We can give you instructions on how to be on the Wise community page without having anyone else know you're there (hint: it's all in the privacy settings!).

7. Wise Women's Network Kiva.org Team

Kiva.org is a micro-lending organization whose mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva.org provides a platform for borrowers to fund their own businesses and is the perfect partner for us to deploy our collective resources so that we can help other women, around the world, thrive. *kiva.org is an outside organization – it is a coincidence that we share a name!

  • 10% of all of our membership proceeds will be allocated to our team at kiva.org
  • You will have access to our team page so that you will be able to see the women we are helping and the impact that we are making as a community

Sponsor a WISE Woman Scholarship!

One of our goals at Wise is to create a diverse community that shares different experi- ences, stories and perspectives. You can make this happen!

For an additional $65, you will pay for a woman who is currently in a women's shelter or involved in a program for lower- income women to join our community as a full member. You will make it possible for a woman to gain knowledge that will serve her for a lifetime and create new possibilities for herself, her family and her community.

Our Scholarship Partner:

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) - This federally funded program was established in 1990 to promote employment and increased assets for low-income families receiving federal rent subsidies or public housing.

During a five-year period, participants work individually with a case manager to set and pursue goals related to education, job training, money management, childcare and transportation. An important part of the FSS program is the escrow or savings account that grows as earned income increases. Many FSS families (the majority of which are single mothers) have used their escrow money to purchase a home, start a small business, pay off debt and save for retirement. FSS is one of the only asset-building federal programs available.

Coordinators with FSS will identify women in this program that would be true beneficiaries of joining our community. These are women who are working to break the cycle of poverty and change the way they think about money and their future. They are a vital part of our mission, and bring a breath and depth to the collective voice of Wise!
