Nominations Sought for L’Oréal Paris’ 20th Annual Women of Worth Program

The Women of Worth philanthropic program gives women across to country the chance to be recognized and receive a grant of $25,000 to advance their non-profit organizations.

L’Oréal Paris USA seeks submissions for Its Women of Worth program. Deadline is March 8, International Women’s Day. For 19 years, L’Oréal Paris has honored women who uplift their communities through service. These non-profit leaders, the Women of Worth, each receive $25,000 to support their charitable cause, mentorship from the L’Oréal Paris network and a national platform to tell their stories.

“This is a monumental year for us as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Women of Worth program,” said Laura Branik, president at L’Oréal Paris USA. “We are extremely proud of the 190 women this program has supported over the past two decades—those driving change for the country’s most pressing issues. We look forward to celebrating 10 more incredible female changemakers in 2025.”


Consumers are invited to nominate a deserving woman at WomenofWorth.com. Honorees will be selected in partnership with Points of Light, a global nonprofit leader and champion for volunteering. Each honoree will receive a $25,000 grant through L’Oréal Paris’ intermediary grant maker, GlobalGiving, an opportunity to build a network for their cause and more.

Karen T. Fondu Impact Award

This year’s honorees will join an esteemed, active alumni network of 190 changemakers as part of the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth family. Each year, a program alumna who demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to her cause in the years since being recognized receives the Karen T. Fondu Impact Award with a grant of $10,000. This award was created in honor of past L’Oréal Paris President and Chairman of Women of Worth, Karen T. Fondu.

L’Oréal presented the Fondu Award to Dr. Ni’Cola Mitchell of Girls Who Brunch Tour, founded to empower at-risk girls. Since being a Women of Worth honoree in 2019, Mitchell has gone on to impact over 48,000 women, has a presence in 28 cities, including internationally, and has launched new programs that target critical areas like STEM, technology and wellness for communities of color.
