How will the funds be used?

All funds raised will go towards advancing the mission of the Lise Watier Foundation, which is to support and encourage the professional development and financial independence of local women by providing them with the means to realize their full potential.
It costs an average of $5,000 to support one woman through the Let’s Start Up Pathway. This allows the Foundation to offer concrete resources to help women develop their skills and knowledge through training, individual coaching, and financial support.
