Give The Gift Of Strength
Thanks to supporters like you, The Strength Initiative has helped women across Charlottesville gain access to expert-led, inclusive strength training — many for the first time. Your continued generosity allows us to grow, reach more women and girls, and break down even more barriers to health and strength.

Make a Monetary Donation
From $20 which sponsors a woman’s first strength class, to $160 which covers an entire month of science backed strength training, to $500 which allows a young girl to complete a semester long Strength Starts Young Program, with science-back strength training and mentorship, every dollar goes directly to removing the financial barriers to allow all women to access the life changing benefits of strength training!
