Mothers and Others Day
Since 2005, the Iowa Women’s Foundation (IWF) has encouraged an expansion of the tradition in which we honor our mothers one designated day a year for their love and hard work.
Mothers and Others Day widens the recognition to all women, promoting the belief that mentoring, guidance and support comes from many sources. Our lives are impacted and enriched through the relationships we develop with our grandmothers, aunts, cousins, teachers, neighbors and friends.
By reshaping tradition, IWF offers the opportunity to make a thoughtful gesture of recognition, while building up support for grant programs benefiting the larger community. It is a way to transform a one-day holiday into lasting social change.
Thank you to all of our Mothers and Others Day supporters!
