Join us for a delightful afternoon tea celebrating women’s rights to inheritance and the economic mobility that land rights provide. This intimate gathering will explore the real-world impact of these foundational rights on gender equality—because when women have secure rights to land, they build stronger futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Join us on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at the historic Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle for a Bridgerton-inspired gathering featuring a spectacular tea service, live music, inspiring speakers, limited-time auction, and the opportunity to connect with a passionate community of changemakers.
Whether you come with friends or make new ones at your table, you’ll leave uplifted, knowing your support helps rewrite the story of women’s economic empowerment—together.
