IMPACT
PARTNERS
Driving change across the systems shaping women’s economic mobility.
VEST works across community, media, advocacy, research, and partnerships to expand opportunity and improve economic outcomes for women. We believe meaningful impact requires collective action across workplaces, policy, philanthropy, investment, and culture.
Systems change requires collaboration. VEST partners with corporations, philanthropy, investors, researchers, community leaders, and advocacy organizations to address the structural barriers impacting women’s economic opportunity and advancement.
Our work combines: storytelling and visibility, community building, policy advocacy, research and insights
and cross-sector collaboration.
