The Avon company has always been big on empowering women by providing economic opportunity. Initially they did this by making it easy to get in business selling makeup and so on. In their latest effort to empower women, they developed the Hello Tomorrow Fund.
The fund over the course of 52 weeks (which started April 2007) will choose one applicant every week to award $5,000 to help that person start a program or a project or develop an idea that will empower women. In addition to the USA, the fund will be available to assist women in 20 other countries including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
