Women Giving Back

What Women Giving Back does

Women Giving Back (WGB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sterling, Virginia. It provides free clothing, shoes, accessories, diapers, and seasonal essentials to women and children in crisis throughout the Greater Washington Metro area (Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia). Clients are qualified for service through a network of 1,300+ referral partners — case managers, social workers, shelters, and government agencies — and receive items via a dignified boutique-style shopping experience at WGB's 26,000-square-foot Sterling facility, through pre-packed Bags-To-Go for emergency cases such as domestic violence survivors, or via bulk community distribution partner orders delivered within a 50-mile radius.

The organization's core offerings include the flagship Boutique, Bags-To-Go, Diaper Pantry (in partnership with the Greater DC Diaper Bank), Snack Packs for childhood food insecurity, and seasonal programs including Prom Boutique, Back to School, Military Shopping Days, and Holiday Gifts for Kids (Santa's Workshop). An upcoming Career Closet & Workforce Station, developed with Marymount University, will extend services into workforce readiness. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations are logistics-driven, powered by approximately 10-15 staff members and 5,000+ volunteers.

WGB is funded entirely through donations — individual giving, corporate sponsorships (M&T Bank as the presenting luncheon sponsor; 25+ named corporate partners), foundation grants (A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation as Transformation Partner; 100WomenStrong; Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties), government grants from five local jurisdictions, and annual fundraising events (Empowerment Luncheon, Cinco de Mayo Fiesta). The organization is currently executing a $4.5 million Opening Doors Capital Campaign to build a Collaborative Resource Hub. Annual operating revenue is not publicly disclosed.
