Through March 8, International Women’s Day, L’Oréal Paris USA is calling for submissions to nominate a female non-profit leader for the chance to be one of 10 honorees inducted into this year’s Women of Worth class.

“This is a monumental year for us as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Women of Worth program,” said Laura Branik, president at L’Oréal Paris USA. “We are extremely proud of the 190 women this program has supported over the past two decades – those driving change for the country’s most pressing issues. We look forward to celebrating 10 more incredible female changemakers in 2025.”

Consumers are invited to nominate a deserving woman at WomenofWorth.com for their chance to be named a 2025 honoree. Honorees will be selected in partnership with Points of Light, a global nonprofit leader and champion for volunteering; and each honoree will receive a $25,000 grant through L’Oréal Paris’ intermediary grant maker, GlobalGiving, an opportunity to build a network for their cause and more.

Karen T. Fondu Impact Award

This year’s honorees will join an esteemed, active alumni network of 190 changemakers as part of the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth family. Each year, a program alumna who demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to her cause in the years since being recognized receives the Karen T. Fondu Impact Award with a grant of $10,000. This award was created in honor of past L’Oréal Paris President and Chairman of Women of Worth, Karen T. Fondu.

This year, it has been awarded to Dr. Ni’Cola Mitchell of Girls Who Brunch Tour, founded to empower at-risk girls. Since being a Women of Worth honoree in 2019, Ni’Cola has gone on to impact over 48,000 women, has a presence in 28 cities, including internationally, and has launched new programs that target critical areas like STEM, technology, and wellness for communities of color.
