Tomorrow's Women Today

What Tomorrow's Women Today does

Tomorrow's Women TODAY (TWToday) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in Massachusetts, with a regional chapter in Rhode Island. The organization operates a tiered professional women's leadership network structured around three membership tiers: Early Leaders (college students and women with 1-4 years of work experience), Emerging Leaders (5-14 years of management experience), and Executive Leaders (15+ years of leadership). Membership is gated through an application and interview process, with prospective members typically referred through corporate alliances, industry nominations, or existing member invitations. The core service offering is the Pay It Forward Pipeline mentorship program, a six-month structured cross-sector mentoring engagement paired with cohort networking and leadership development workshops; additional offerings include regional networking events, member spotlights, SHE Suite executive interviews, the Woman of the Year award program (running annually since 2009), a monthly newsletter, and The Story Behind Her Success podcast.

The underlying technology is a WordPress-based website with a member directory, newsletter signup, and podcast distribution — no proprietary platform, no mobile app, and no API. Mentor-mentee matching and admissions are operated manually by staff including the Director of Early Leader Programming. Revenue is generated from four streams: tiered membership dues, corporate sponsorships (Goldman Sachs, National Grid, Bose, Berkshire Bank, Constangy, Northwestern Mutual, and others are named sponsors), a small application fee for the mentorship program, and tax-deductible donations, with a Giving Tuesday campaign currently underway to mark the organization's 15th anniversary.

The business model is fundamentally a community-led, membership-and-sponsorship nonprofit rather than a venture-scalable enterprise. Go-to-market is referral-based and event-driven, with corporate sponsors providing employee access to the network. The customer base spans individual members across career stages and corporate partners primarily in financial services, professional services, healthcare, and energy/utilities, with named members including CEOs of Emerson Health and The Home for Little Wanderers, the Boston Business Journal Market President, and senior leaders at Emerson, 3Play Media, Point32Health, NECTA, and Geode Capital Management.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Forte Foundation: Nonprofit focused on launching women into business leadership careers via MBA programs and corporate partnerships. Comparable in women-leadership development mission and corporate sponsorship model, but more narrowly focused on the MBA pipeline.
• In Good Company: Community platform connecting women through peer circles, mentorship, and corporate partnerships. Comparable in offering tiered women's leadership programming with corporate sponsorship revenue, though more digitally native.

Broad incumbents

• Catalyst: Global nonprofit focused on advancing women in the workplace through research, advisory services, and member companies. Broader than TWT in scope and B2B in primary orientation, but pursues overlapping women-leadership development mission.
• National Association of Female Executives (NAFE): One of the longest-running U.S. women's executive membership organizations providing networking, education, and recognition. Comparable in membership-based women-leadership offering, but operates nationally as part of a larger media ecosystem.

Regional players

• The Boston Club: Boston-area women's executive leadership organization focused on advancing women to board roles and senior leadership. Overlaps TWT geographically in Boston and in its executive-women audience, but is more narrowly focused on board/C-suite pipeline.
• Women's Forum of New York: Invitation-based New York women's leadership organization for senior executives across sectors. Overlaps with TWT's executive-women audience and curated-membership model, but operates in the NYC market.

Direct peers

• Lean In Circles: Sheryl Sandberg-founded women's peer-mentorship and leadership community built around small local circles. Directly comparable model to TWT's tiered peer mentorship approach, but operating globally with chapter-based structure.
• Ellevate Network: One of the largest global professional women's networks with membership across career stages. Comparable to TWT in targeting women leaders for mentorship and networking, but at vastly larger national scale and with a proprietary technology platform.
• 85 Broads: Global women's professional network originally founded out of Goldman Sachs, providing networking, mentoring, and career resources to women across industries. Comparable in mission and member-base profile.
• Chief: Private membership network for female executives (typically VP and above). Directly comparable in targeting the executive-women segment with curated membership and events, but operates nationally with a paid subscription model.
