Celebrating Partnerships: Grapevine Community

At The Aries Foundation, we believe that creating a world where all children and families can thrive requires collective action — and today, we are proud to share an incredible example of that spirit of collaboration.

This month, we were honored to receive a generous donation from Women in Construction for Gender Equity, a trailblazing organization dedicated to empowering women in the trades and advancing gender equality in workplaces and communities. Their contribution directly supports our programs that address inequities and create opportunities for underrepresented women and girls.

Women in Construction for Gender Equity's gift comes at a critical time, as we expand our initiatives to provide hygiene resources, and advocacy that help break down systemic barriers. With their support, we will be able to:

Provide additional hygiene products and school supplies for young women in under-resourced communities.

Advocate for policies that protect and advance women’s rights in education and employment.

As a nonprofit rooted in the belief that every voice matters, we know that partnerships like this help amplify our mission far beyond what we could achieve alone. This donation not only brings much-needed financial support but also a shared vision of what’s possible when women support women.

On behalf of our board and the countless individuals who will benefit from this generosity, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the members and leadership of Women in Construction for Gender Equity. Together, we are building more than stronger foundations — we are building a more equitable future for all.

We invite our community to join us in celebrating this partnership and continuing the work. If you’d like to learn more about our gender equity programs or ways to support our mission, please visit consider donating.
