Our Signature Initiatives
Blossoming Butterflies Scholarship Program
​
It's more than a financial award — it’s a celebration of transformation, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of women and teen girls rising into their fullest potential. Each year, through the generosity of donors and proceeds from our annual fundraisers, Lady Butterflies awards five deserving recipients with a $1,000 education stipend. These scholarships are granted to women and/or teen girls who have been nominated for their determination, growth, and commitment to personal and academic advancement — even in the face of challenges. Winners are proudly announced and honored at our Annual Signature Dinner Fundraiser in March, during Women’s History Month, where their stories are highlighted as reminders of what’s possible when women support women.
Whether pursuing college, a certification, or skills training, this scholarship is designed to provide a lift during a leap — recognizing the courage it takes to keep moving forward, and the beauty of blooming at your own pace. Application period opens January 15th - 30th of each calendar year.

Sister Friends Advocacy for Women - Comprehensive Care Management
​
We all experience different life changes that bring us to the decision to pursue
a new direction, which is the common thread we share as women. However, each life change poses different challenges, and it's always easier to make a transition when you can get advice from those who can relate and who are/have gone through similar circumstances.
Let us link you with a 'Sister Friends' Advocate to provide one-on-one supportive services.
The Giving Place
A Heart for Humanity.
A Hand When It’s Needed.
Because everyone deserves a little more kindness in their corner of the world.
The Giving Place is a global initiative by Lady Butterflies that provides free essentials to individuals and families in need — no judgment, no barriers. When available, we distribute holiday toys, socks, cosmetics, food, clothing, and household items to support daily living. Resources are distributed based on seasonal drives, donations, and local partnerships in participating regions.
Please check our EVENTS section for any scheduled giveaways.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
