About Girls Who Invest
Girls Who Invest (GWI), a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the investment management industry by attracting and advancing women investors, change-makers, and leaders.
We do this through tuition-free education programs for first- and second-year college students. Once our Scholars complete their program, we provide career advisory services, community building, and connections for our Alumni at all stages in their careers, with a focus on their long-term professional development, retention, and advancement. We believe, and studies show, that advancing diverse investors brings unique and previously excluded perspectives to the industry and leads to higher performance.
