Our Donors Enable Us to Serve
There are a number of ways you or your company may provide financial or in-kind support that contributes to making a difference in the lives of the women and girls that Soroptimist Raleigh serves.
Sponsor an Event
One of our major fundraising events over the past few years has been our PuzzleMania event, a speed puzzling competition. Our next PuzzleMania is tentatively scheduled for January 31, 2026, and will be our 8th occurrence. It’s been amazing to see it grow to become a diverse gathering of over 160 people. We are offering companies and organizations the ability to be a sponsor. Partnering as a sponsor for this event offers a unique platform for awareness and engagement, and sponsorships start at just $250.
While we don’t have final sponsorship details available just yet, if you represent a local business or know of one that would be interested in becoming a sponsor, please email psinclair@soroptimistraleigh.org for more information.
Donate to the Dream Programs
Live Your Dream Awards. Soroptimist Raleigh has granted over $123,000 to women in our local communities through the Live Your Dream: Education and Training Awards for Women. This year we granted a total of $16,000 to ten Triangle-area women.
Dream It, Be It. Through a series of workshops or a conference-style event, Raleigh Soroptimists help teen girls by providing the tools they need to achieve their education and career goals, empowering them to break cycles of poverty, violence, and abuse.
Help us to continue this giving by donating directly to these programs. There are eight levels of sponsorship.
❑ VISIONARY—$10,000
❑ DREAM MAKER—$7,500
❑ CHAMPION—$5,000
❑ ADVOCATE—$2,500
❑ BENEFACTOR—$1,000
❑ PARTNER—$500
❑ CONTRIBUTOR—$250
❑ FRIEND—$100
All levels are recognized on our website. Donations of $500 or more are acknowledged at our events, and include one complimentary ticket to our annual Live Your Dream Awards event, where we present the awards and hear from the awardees.
