Women in the workforce have faced considerable challenges in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic as our country sank into a ‘she-cession’ with job loss and economic uncertainty skyrocketing. In an effort to combat this, Unilever partnered with Luminary to provide 290 women business owners in America’s most impacted communities with the resources they need to adapt their businesses and keep workers employed. But our work isn’t done. 

This May, Unilever is hosting its second annual Day of Service to rally its employees, brands, and partners to take continued action to support the people and communities who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. As a part of this, Luminary and Unilever are working together to provide opportunities for give and get support for women-founded businesses – because when we help each other, we grow together.

Get Involved

A renewed sense of hope is being felt across the country as vaccines are distributed and we see further signs of recovery. But for millions, the impact of the pandemic drags on inequitably. For Unilever, aiding those most impacted by the pandemic remains a priority, and this spring, the company will hold its second annual Day of Service, inviting their employees, brands, and partners to continue to bring aid to our communities through volunteer and donation opportunities.

One way you can get involved is by contributing to Luminary’s Illumination Grants fund below. Illumination Grants provide one annual Luminary membership to a woman in need of a support system at no cost to them and are primarily given to those from historically marginalized backgrounds – find more information about the grants here.
