.ORG Impact Awards

DfG is excited to announce that we are a two-time winner at this year’s .ORG Impact Awards! It is an honor and privilege to accept the award for both “Combatting Coronavirus” and “.ORG Of The Year” categories.

The annual .ORG Awards aim to recognize and celebrate mission-driven organizations changing the world for the better – from multinational NGOs to small community nonprofits. This year, amidst extraordinary circumstance and struggle, it has never been more important to look for (and spotlight) the helpers.

The Days for Girls team is grateful to serve alongside a truly remarkable lineup of fellow helpers, do-gooders and change-makers. We have poured every ounce of our collective energy into supporting women, girls and communities throughout the #COVID-19 pandemic – and we’re thrilled to be recognized for our efforts!

Thank you to the .ORG Awards judges for seeing the value in our work; for understanding the importance of uplifting every girl, everywhere; and for shining a spotlight on the fight against period poverty.

Thank you to our amazing Enterprise leaders, volunteers and staff for continuing to champion menstrual health in the face of unprecedented challenges this year – from finding new ways to reach menstruators, to sewing millions of masks for frontline workers.

Finally, thank you to all of our supporters who continue to devote their time, voices, finances and more to our cause. We couldn’t have done this without you.
