NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Non-Profit for 2024. These inspiring women are at the helm of organizations and initiatives dedicated to making a positive impact on communities, families, and individuals around the world. Their work spans a range of causes, including healthcare, education, the environment, and social justice. As nonprofit leaders, they balance mission-driven work with team building, leadership, and growth all while demonstrating empathy, emotional intelligence, and a deep commitment to their causes.

First, we honor Isis Dallis, Executive Director of Climate Nexus. With over 20 years of experience in building teams, leading companies, and transforming organizational cultures, Dallis is deeply committed to climate action, solutions, and justice.

We also honor Shane Woods, Executive Director of Girlstart, a nonprofit organization that engages girls in informal educational opportunities in STEM fields. Woods began her career as a middle school science teacher, and after 17 years on the job, rising to the level of assistant principal, she made the transition to nonprofit leadership.

We also honor Shane Woods, Executive Director of Girlstart, a women-led nonprofit organization that offers year-round out-of-school STEM programs for girls in grades 4-8. Under Woods' leadership, Girlstart recently celebrated 25 years of empowering girls through informal educational opportunities in STEM fields.

Finally, we celebrate the accomplishments of Iara Peng, the Founder and CEO of JustFund. After 25 years of startup experience, Peng launched JustFund.us, an innovative online portal that connects grantmakers directly to organizations to help move resources more quickly while facilitating greater trust, transparency, and accountability across funder communities.

Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Non-Profit for 2024.
