In 2025, we had pop up gatherings for our community including an outing to a broadway show produced by women, a fireside chat with the ceo of usatt and more- wia's annual retreat weekend bringing together all our populations of women for an extraordinary opportunity to connect, network and learn. - virtual learning through small group presentations and problem-solving discussions. - clusters which are small group mentoring sessions held quarterly at a mentor's office or home.- we have an active alumnae group who creates programming and community building activities for the community of active alumnae. - in 2025, we introduced our master class program for accomplished women outside of the wia network to offer them the opportunity to come together for a day to learn about the art of communication.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
