Leading by example, Francine LeFrak inspires each of us to use our talents to empower and lift each other.  Under her guidance, our programs have helped more than one million people gain access to training, continue in school, become financially secure and build self-confidence. 

 In honor of Francine’s birthday, we are raising $300,000 for the Same Sky Foundation that will expand our programs using our hand-up approach so even more women can use their talents to thrive. Your gift of $500 or more will change the trajectory of a woman’s life by providing her with the tools and confidence to take control of her mental, physical, and financial well-being. 100% of all donations will go directly to making a difference in a woman’s future.

Our impact speaks for itself:


You can play a vital role in our mission with every gift made.  Your past generosity has helped:

  • Hundreds of students have access to education. 
  • Thousands of women enroll in workforce development and job training programs.
  • Thousands of students and workers have access to microgrant funds helping to remove barriers to employment and their success.
