Since 1972, the Soroptimist Live Your Dream Awards
program (formerly the Women’s Opportunity Awards)
has disbursed more than $30 million to tens of
thousands of women who have overcome poverty,
domestic and sexual violence, divorce, the death of
a spouse, or other life challenges. They are women—
just like you—who had the courage and determination
to turn their lives around.
Most regions grant additional $3,000 awards. The
first-place recipients then become eligible for one
of three $10,000 finalist awards.
Soroptimist also oers awards through its
headquarters oce to applicants who do not live
within the territorial limits of a Soroptimist club.
Each year about $1.7 million is awarded through
the Soroptimist Live Your Dream
Awards program.
