Dear John,

As CEO of IGNITE, I’m inspired every day by phenomenal young women who have a deep commitment to their communities and a clear vision for the future.

In 2020, alumna Mary Black was appointed to the Raleigh Environmental Advisory Board to shape the city's clean air and water policies. Just a year into her board appointment, she made the bold decision to run for city council with a policy agenda that addresses the intersection of housing, infrastructure, and environmental justice. IGNITE supports young women like Mary in understanding and embracing their political power.

When you invest in IGNITE, you are investing in leaders like Mary.  

Mary is just one of over 20,000 young women IGNITE trained over the last decade. These women have innovative ideas and a commitment to long-term change. These are the young women we need in positions of power. 

Act today and your gift will be matched! Thanks to Katie and Chris Bouton, gifts up to $5,000 will be doubled between now and the end of the year.  

Together we can invest in and ignite powerhouse young women who are doing the work today and will continue to lead for decades to come.

Thank you, 

Sara Guillermo, CEO
