Recently, #1 global beauty brand L’Oréal Paris USA announced its 2023 L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth. This recognized the charitable achievements of 10 extraordinary nonprofit leaders working to address the nation’s biggest issues.
The 2023 L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth class joined an incredible network of 170 previous honorees. The honorees champion a diverse range of causes and beautifully embody the brand’s iconic tagline, “Because You’re Worth It.” To help alleviate some of the challenges female nonprofit leaders face, L’Oréal Paris will facilitate a grant of $25,000 for each honoree through its intermediary grantmaking partner, GlobalGiving. In addition, the brand will provide business mentorship and increased visibility through the brand’s national platforms.
For the first time, L’Oréal Paris, in partnership with GlobalGiving, has established the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Fund. This will allow consumers to make a donation that benefits all 10 of this year’s honorees. Visit GlobalGiving.org to learn more.
“It is with great pride that we welcome 10 more incredible change makers into the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth family now 180 women strong,” said L’Oréal Paris USA President, Ali Goldstein. “We champion female nonprofit leaders and their selfless work. We hope to inspire people to tap into their own sense of worth to create positive change.”
