NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Know a changemaker going above and beyond to make a difference in your community? L'Oréal Paris USA is calling on women across the nation to nominate a trail-blazing female non-profit leader for a chance to be one of 10 honorees inducted into this year's Women of Worth class, each of whom will receive funding, mentorship and a national platform to share their stories and grow their grassroot organizations.

Since its inception nearly 20 years ago, L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth has recognized and supported 180 women and their philanthropic efforts where most have gone on to impact legislation and change the lives of countless people. From addressing food insecurity and supporting youth mental health to fighting climate change and more, past honorees have created meaningful change both on a national and global scale.

Now through March 8, International Women's Day, consumers are invited to nominate a deserving woman at WomenofWorth.com for their chance to be named one of the 2024 honorees, receiving $25,000 grant through L'Oréal Paris' intermediary grant maker, GlobalGiving for their cause, an opportunity to build a network that amplifies their causes to make an even greater impact on the lives of others and more. Also, in partnership with GlobalGiving, the brand established the L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Fund, which encouraged donations benefitting all 10 of last year's honorees. Visit www.globalgiving.org/womenofworth to learn more and donate to past honorees' causes.

"For 19 years, L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth has championed female non-profit leaders who are addressing some of our nation's most pressing issues," said Ali Goldstein, L'Oréal Paris USA President. "I am continually inspired by their ability to tap into their own self-worth to create positive change in their communities."

Honorees will also join an esteemed, active alumni network of 180 changemakers who are all part of the L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth family. Each year, an honoree from the alumni network who demonstrates an extraordinary impact on her cause in the years since being recognized also has the chance to win the Karen T. Fondu Impact Award with a grant of $10,000, which was created in honor of L'Oréal Paris past President and Chairman of Women of Worth, Karen T. Fondu. This year, it was awarded to Theresa Flores of The SOAP Project. Since being a Women of Worth honoree in 2017, Theresa has gone on to double her SOAP chapters across the U.S., trained over 10,000 individuals at their awareness events and assisted in getting the Backpage bill passed.
