Women's Opportunity Award

The Women’s Opportunity Awards program is Soroptimist’s major service project. The award helps to improve the lives of women by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills, and employment prospects.
Soroptimist International of Bellingham awards a grant each year to a local woman who provides the primary source of financial support for her family and is improving her life through education. The award may be used to assist with costs from attaining higher education, including books, childcare and transportation.

Making a Difference for Women Award

The Making a Difference for Women Award acknowledges women who are working to improve the lives of women and girls through their personal or professional activities. Their efforts help to promote the issues that are important to the Soroptimist organization. Honorees are women who have worked in extraordinary ways to benefit women and girls. The program enables local Soroptimist clubs and the Soroptimist organization to thank these women and encourage others to explore ways to assist women and girls. Soroptimist International of Bellingham awards $250 to the honoree's charitable organization of choice.
