Our Mission
OUR STORY
In 2016 our Founder established The Eleanor Project. Largely inspired by the work and wisdom of Eleanor Roosevelt, The Eleanor Project sought to inspire, empower, and connect the young and established women of our community. In 2020 The Eleanor Project merged with Women United—an affinity group of United Way—to form Eleanor by Women United (EWU).
EWU members represent the diversity of women in our community. We are united by our appreciation for the female experience, and the desire to connect with and empower each other.
We are Eleanor by Women United.

EVENTS
Eleanor by Women United takes pride in creating opportunities where women of the community are inspired, empowered, and connected with each other. We believe that when these things occur – great things happen.
EWU hosts numerous specialty events each year. Our Signature Events are our most glamorous events and are open to the public. These events typically feature special guests, speakers, performers, etc. that align with our theme for that event. Our Members Only events are socials and networking events specifically for EWU Members. These events help us deliver on the promise of connecting the women of our community so that we can continue to do great things together.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
In addition to creating impactful experiences for our members, EWU is on a mission to help the young women of our community build a foundation of positive self-esteem that will empower them to face life with grit and grace.
Our ultimate goal is to offer a confidence building camp for 7th grade girls in our community. We are in the development phases of this project and a portion of all membership fees and general program sponsorships goes towards these efforts.
