The International Alliance for Women

The International Alliance for Women (TIAW) is a global 501(c)3 charitable foundation headquartered in Washington, DC, dedicated to advancing women's economic empowerment across all continents. Since its founding in 1980, TIAW has grown from a small network of professional women in the USA to a worldwide organization representing businesswomen and networks from every continent. The organization operates with a clear focus on creating an inclusive economy that strengthens the global economic fabric through strategic support and unified action.

TIAW's comprehensive approach to women's economic advancement encompasses multiple service areas including entrepreneurship support, professional mentorship programs, educational initiatives, micro-credit opportunities, and corporate women's leadership development. The foundation recognizes that economic empowerment requires multifaceted solutions and works directly with women entrepreneurs and professional networks to provide the resources and connections necessary for sustainable economic growth. TIAW's signature programs, including the World of Difference Awards, recognize and celebrate individuals whose efforts have advanced women's economic empowerment at local, regional, and worldwide levels.

The organization serves businesswomen who seek not only to network and advance their own careers but also to contribute to helping those in need. TIAW's international reach and established networks across multiple continents position it as a significant force in addressing the reality that approximately 2.4 billion women of working age lack equal economic opportunity compared to men. Through targeted programs, partnerships, and community engagement, TIAW continues to demonstrate its commitment to transforming economic systems and creating lasting opportunities for women globally.
