Teal Diva

What Teal Diva does

Teal Diva is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization headquartered in Matthews, North Carolina, that provides support programs, awareness resources, apparel, and events for individuals impacted by gynecologic cancer. Founded around 2010-2015, the organization serves women diagnosed with ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers at any stage from newly diagnosed through long-term survivorship, primarily across the Charlotte metropolitan area and Southeast US. Its core offerings are the Yes Girl Project (grants, financial assistance, dignity apparel, home and lawn projects), the Sisterhood Series community learning program, the Teal Diva Retreat, the Diva Boutique, and Cancer Awareness Toolkits. No technology platform underpins the offering; programs are delivered through in-person events, retreats, and community meetups, with a WordPress-powered website and digital touchpoints for donations and virtual event registration.

The organization's business model is multi-stream nonprofit revenue generation rather than commercial monetization. Revenue is sourced from tax-deductible donations (individuals, corporations, foundations), signature fundraising events (the 12th Annual Teal Diva 5K in May 2026, Toast for Her Gala in November 2026, Mile For Her virtual event in September 2026, Volleyball Classic), Teal Dignity branded apparel sales through the Diva Boutique, and corporate sponsorships through the EmpowHER Corporate Partnership program. Services and survivor programs are provided at no cost to beneficiaries. Distribution is community-led and regional, with operational scale of 1-10 employees and a growing roster of strategic partners including Novant Health Cancer Institute, the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA), and various venue partners across the Charlotte metro area.
