WLS 2026

VIRTUAL 5K

If you believe in and support female leadership, you are our people. If we can answer any questions or if you have an idea or proposal for us, we are always interested in collaborating with like-minded fellow leaders and innovators. 

Supporting Female Leadership, Providing Resources, and Advancing Careers

The Ellevate Mars Squad was created as a way for our male counterparts to support our mission through an annual membership that helps fund WLS and speaks volumes about the caliber of fellow leaders we have the honor of serving alongside. By joining our Mars Squad, you're telling the world that you believe in and support female leadership and you're helping us to nurture and train up the female leaders of today as well as tomorrow!

It's easy to join, and money very well spent. So if you're a male leader, please consider contributing $250 to join our annual Mars Squad (and then get a friend or two to do the same)! As a token of our appreciation, you'll receive a specially curated thank you gift, Mars Squad recognition at WLS, and most importantly, the personal satisfaction of knowing that you're doing a good thing!

Grant Applications

At Ellevate Foundation, we believe access changes everything.
Our grant program exists to remove financial barriers for women in insurance who are ready to grow — whether that’s through education, leadership development, industry involvement, or business-building opportunities.
We don’t fund ideas.
We fund women who are taking action.

What Our Grants Support
Ellevate Foundation grants are designed to invest in professional growth and industry advancement. Funding may be used for:
  • Industry conference registration and travel
  • Professional development programs or certifications
  • Licensing or continuing education
  • Leadership training
  • Membership dues for industry organizations
  • Strategic growth investments that expand opportunity
If it helps you grow your career, strengthen your voice, or expand your impact in insurance — it’s likely aligned.

Who Should Apply
We encourage applications from:
  • Women working in insurance or adjacent industries
  • Independent agents and agency leaders
  • Women pursuing licensure or career advancement
  • Emerging leaders ready for their next level
If funding is the barrier between where you are and where you’re trying to go — this is for you.
What We Look For
We review applications based on:
  • Clear purpose and impact
  • Alignment with Ellevate’s mission
  • Demonstrated commitment to growth
  • Financial need (where applicable)
  • Potential for industry involvement and leadership
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about momentum.

Grant Timeline & Process
  • Applications are reviewed on a rolling / quarterly basis (update as needed)
  • Selected applicants may be contacted for additional information
  • Recipients will be notified directly
  • Grant recipients may be asked to share how the funding impacted their growth

Transparency matters to us. So does follow-through.

Let's Stay
