Why We Exist

Celebration with a deeper purpose.

WUP began as a circle of friends who believed that when women come together to celebrate, they can also come together to carry one another. Every high tea, gala and concert we host funds real support for women rebuilding their lives.

We host the events women love — but we don't stop at a beautiful evening. Every dollar left over after covering an event's costs is set aside for women who need a hand: to leave, to heal, to learn, to start again.

Founded by a circle of friends who saw the power of sisterhood, WUP transforms every teacup and every ticket into something meaningful for women they'll never meet — but whose lives they'll change forever.

Five Pillars

How It Works

From ticket to true impact.

We host an event

High teas, galas, concerts and workshops designed to celebrate women and bring our community together in meaningful ways.

Proceeds are set aside

After costs are covered, net proceeds go directly into our five support pillars — never overhead or administration.

A woman is supported

Funds are released as housing help, tuition grants, startup capital or counselling access for women who need it most.

Impact Stories

Lives transformed, futures rewritten.

Three women, three pillars. Names are shortened and shared with consent to protect their privacy.

WUP didn't just help me escape — they helped me rebuild. With their education grant, I completed my nursing degree. Today, I'm the one caring for others.

The startup grant changed everything. My small baking business now supports my three children. I went from having nothing to having a future.
Lerato N.Entrepreneurship Pillar recipient
After years of depression, I thought I was beyond help. WUP connected me with a therapist and a community. I finally feel like myself again.

Request Support
Questions

The things people ask us first.

Who can apply for support?

Any woman facing a barrier to safety, education, income or wellbeing can apply through our Request Support form. Applications are reviewed by our support team, and we confirm eligibility in writing before any funds are released.

[Add your eligibility criteria and the regions you serve — for example: “We currently support women in [region].”]

How much of my ticket actually reaches a woman?

100% of net event proceeds — everything left after covering the direct costs of running the event — is set aside for our five support pillars. We publish an annual summary of what was raised and how it was released.

How do I buy tickets to an event?

Every event on this page has a Get Tickets button that opens our secure ticketing partner. You'll get an email confirmation and a receipt immediately. If a date is sold out, join our newsletter and you'll hear about the next one first.

Is my donation tax deductible, and will I get a receipt?

Every gift is receipted automatically to the email address you provide. Tax deductibility depends on your country of residence and our registration status.

[Confirm your registration number and deductibility wording with your accountant, then replace this paragraph.]

How quickly is a support request answered?

We aim to acknowledge every request within two working days and to give you a clear next step within five. Requests are handled confidentially and are never shared publicly without your written consent.

Can my company sponsor or partner with WUP?

Yes — we welcome sponsorship of individual events, a named pillar, or a full event series. Email partnerships@womenunitedinpurpose.org and we'll send our sponsorship pack.

You Are Not Alone

Request support.

Every request is handled with care and complete confidentiality. Tell us what you need in your own words — you don't have to explain everything at once.

If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. This form is not monitored 24/7 and is not a crisis line.

Support request form

Fields marked * are required. Nothing you send here is shared without your consent.

Whichever you'd rather we use to reach you.
