Executive Women International is committed to the international promotion of literacy. Chapters across North America have enlisted the aid of corporations, writers, teachers, and many others to promote reading and writing opportunities to children. Projects vary from Chapter to Chapter but all with the same goal, to make a lasting and positive impact in our communities.

Gaining Ground

In 2026, the EWI of Tulsa Chapter’s hearts and efforts were focused on supporting the incredible work of the Tulsa Dream Center—an organization devoted to breaking the cycle of poverty, bringing healing to families, and changing the future for the next generation right here in our community.  The Chapter succeeded in raising over $10,000 dollars and gave the kids a wonderful day of sno cones and fun! 

In 2027, We are excited to announce Gaining Ground as our chapter’s literacy initiative and featured philanthropic cause at our December chapter meeting! This Tulsa-based nonprofit empowers children to build essential reading skills, develop a love of books, and establish a foundation for lifelong success.

Gaining Ground is making a meaningful difference in our community through programs that include:

  • Reaching young readers: Serving children from kindergarten to third grade through partnerships with eight local schools, after-school programs, and summer activities.
  • Putting books into children’s hands: Over 371,000 new books have filled the homes of children since 2018 through school book fairs, book bus program, and other literacy programs.
  • Engaging families: Creating opportunities for parents and children to learn, read, and grow together.
  • Building a love of reading: Making literacy fun and accessible through play-based learning and engaging activities.

Our chapter’s goal this year is to raise $5,000 in financial contributions, along with donations of new books. You can help by making an individual donation, encouraging your member firm to contribute, or participating in our Reading Rally and other fundraising activities.
