VWI Gives Back

Giving back is
built into who we are.

When one woman grows, she opens the door for the next. Here is how Vision With Intention will show up for women in our community.

Why We Give

Vision With Intention was never meant to belong to one event or one person. It is meant to be a community that invests in women, especially women who are ready to grow but need a leg up to get there.

Our members bring more than their businesses to the room. They bring their time, their knowledge and their networks, and they use them to lift the women coming behind them.

In Our Community

What we will be doing.

1

Events for women entrepreneurs who need a leg up

Community events that put women-owned businesses in front of new customers, new partners and new opportunities, especially women who are just getting started or rebuilding.

  • Visibility for women-owned businesses
  • Connections to customers and partners
  • Support for women at every stage
2

Meetings on the power of supplemental income

Community meetings that help women understand why a second stream of income matters, and how to start one with structure, not guesswork.

  • Why supplemental income matters
  • Where to start and what to avoid
  • Keeping business and personal money separate
3

Sponsoring women to attend events

Some of the most important rooms cost money to enter. We sponsor seats so women can attend events, trainings and experiences they could not otherwise afford.

  • Sponsored seats at VWI events
  • Access to trainings and experiences
  • A door opened, not a handout

The Vision Grant & Scholarship

The Vision Grant Fund is raised through fundraising, sponsorships and partnerships. It funds the VWI Vision Scholarship: a sponsored seat in a business growth program for a woman ready for her next step.

  • Awarded as a sponsored seat, not cash
  • VWI pays the program provider directly
  • Our first grant was awarded in 2026

Laquanda Marsh
CEO, Put Dat $ On

At the first annual Women’s Entrepreneur Summit, Laquanda Marsh was chosen to receive our very first Vision Grant: a sponsored seat to help her take the next step in her business.

She is where this story begins. Every dollar raised for the Vision Grant Fund goes toward the next woman ready to follow her.
