Soroptimist International Awards Programs
The Soroptimist Ruby Award: For Women Helping Women (formerly the Soroptimist Making a
Difference for Women Award) acknowledges women who, through their personal or professional
activities, work to improve the lives of women and girls. The work of these women helps to
promote the issues that are important to the Soroptimist organization. Honorees are ordinary
women who have worked in extraordinary ways to benefit women and girls. Examples of the type
of work honored include: spearheading an effort to open a domestic violence shelter, starting a
mentoring program for at-risk girls, or lobbying companies to provide on-site child care. The
program enables local Soroptimist clubs and the Soroptimist organization to thank these women
and encourage others to explore ways to assist women and girls.
The program begins on the club level, where the type of recognition varies. Award winners at the
club level are eligible for additional awards at other levels of the organization. The finalist receives
a $5,000 donation to the charity of her choice.
Janney Montgomery Scott LLC is now a proud sponsor of the Soroptimist Ruby Award: For
Women Helping Women. Established in 1832, Janney provides comprehensive financial advice
and superior service to individual, corporate and institutional investors. Janney believes in
building enduring client relationships based on integrity, experience and trust.
This sponsorship demonstrates Janney’s investment in women who have worked in
extraordinary ways to help other women and girls to live their dreams. In addition to the
women/girls being served directly, Janney’s generous sponsorship of the Ruby Award ultimately
helps families, communities, and the world.
Eligibility Requirements
Women who are improving the lives of other women or girls through their professional or
personal activities are eligible for the Soroptimist Ruby Award. These women have identified and
focused on a need in their communities, which has significantly contributed to the improvement
of women and girls’ lives.
Although Soroptimist clubs are free to honor a woman for a lifetime of good work, the majority of
the work should have occurred within the past two years. Previous award winners, Soroptimists
and Soroptimist employees are not eligible for the award.
Nomination Form
Completed applications must be emailed or mailed to Soroptimist International of Greater Las
