The Aspire Foundation is proud to announce the launch of its most important and far reaching commitment to making a difference to women and girls around the world.
We are seeking to actively support charities in a more tangible and significant way for a period of 12 months and we will actively promote your campaign through our website, live events, networks and promotional materials to businesses, corporations and charities around the world.
For the next 12 months, all of us at Aspire will dedicate our time, effort and energy to ensure that the individual and their charitable campaign gain maximum exposure on an international level by spreading the word to over 50,000 women from global corporations already associated with Aspire Companies and The Aspire Foundation, so increasing visibility, chances of corporate sponsorship, funding and support.
In addition, winners will be able to attend all Aspire events, workshops and webinars over the next year FREE to support your leadership, business and personal development.
See what last year's winners had to say about being a BBD winner here.
“A massive great big thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a fantastic initiative in 2011. I was amazed at the power of thoughts, words and experiences shared, the international connections made. My mind & vision has been opened up and exposed and what lies ahead only my wisdom now knows!”

Campaigns that Make a Difference
A campaign is not an individual or an organization - it is a call to action, a demand, a cause that together we can make the world aware of and so make a brave, bold difference in 2012 and beyond. A perfect example of an international campaign was that created by Greenpeace in 1975, when they launched Save the Whale. (The former was the Organization, the latter the Campaign). Last year's campaigns were 'The Enrich and Empower Girls' Campaign, Tracey Ford, Founding Director, JAGS Foundation; the 'If You Only Knew Me, You'd Care' Campaign, Lateisha Garrett, Senior Marketing Manager, Women For Women International; and 'The Voices Against Violence' Campaign, Lee Webster, Campaign Manager, Care International.
What you need to do next…
To be considered as part of the BBD Campaign for Women 2012, you need to submit a written or video application (of no more than 1,000 words or 10 minutes in length) clearly stating why you as an individual should be considered, outlining what your charity or non-profit organization does, what the Campaign is and how it impacts the lives of the women and girls. Be brave, be bold, be different!
There is no cost to apply and no cost throughout the 12 months.
Who is Eligible?
Any woman who works in a charity or non-profit that in some way (even indirectly) benefits women and girls. Mentees on our pro bono mentoring program are eligible (even if they have completed the program).
