DonateStock celebrates Women’s History Month

Women's History Month has been observed in the United States since 1987 as a commemoration of women's contributions to history and the cultural and societal impacts they have had. 

The month of March, which evolved from an earlier "Women's History Week," is an important commemoration of past and contemporary women.

We begin by acknowledging the hard work of our featured nonprofit organizations who have dedicated their lives to create impactful programs. Great women's efforts throughout history have had a significant impact on the world we live in today. Join us in honoring women's contributions to history during Women's History Month.
