What GW4W does

Global Women 4 Wellbeing (GW4W) is a US-registered non-profit organization founded in 2016 that operates a global membership platform dedicated to healthy female leadership. Headquartered in Blooming Grove, USA, and operating virtually, GW4W serves women leaders, students, corporations, and women-owned businesses across more than 35 countries spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America. Its mission focuses on addressing systemic barriers to women's leadership advancement, including gender bias, pay inequity, work-life balance challenges, and gaps in mentoring, while connecting members through education, research, advocacy, and community programming.

The organization's core product is a subscription-based membership program priced at $160 annually or $45 quarterly, with discounted tiers for students ($10/year under the "$10 for 10 Million Voices" campaign), NWI and WELCOA alliance members ($120/year), and gift memberships. Members gain access to global programming including the Wine & Tea Wednesdays interview series on YouTube and Spotify, international summits and roundtable discussions (such as the May 2025 Global Employee Assistance Summit in Istanbul), accelerator events, professional webinars, and structured workshops covering topics such as Bridging the Gender Gap, Leading from Within, Staying Resilient, Women Wealth Wellbeing, and Visual Images. Bespoke corporate training, consulting, the VOICEs for Change recognition program, and research white papers complete the product surface.

GW4W generates revenue through a mix of individual membership subscriptions, event and workshop fees, corporate training engagements, and donations including passive inflows from the AmazonSmile program (0.5% of eligible purchases). Strategic partners such as Willis Towers Watson, the National Wellness Institute, WELCOA, and Women in PropTech provide cross-promotion, while commercial partners (Gennev, SuiteBreak, Wisdom Works, BuddhaBooth, P2 Probiotics, CoveyClub, Wilcox Financial Group, The She Shift, Maripossa Wellness, Sympnia, and Darling Partners) fund the organization via per-sale contributions or revenue-share arrangements while offering member discounts. The organization is led by Co-founder/COO Nancy Board and Executive Director Mim Senft, with Kim Davis (CHRO of NFP) serving as Board Chair; no funding rounds, equity investors, or disclosed revenue figures appear in the source material.
