Ignite Conversations

The Ignite Excellence Foundation was formed in April 2008, focusing on providing financial support as well as sharing insights on how to cultivate women leaders within their communities in developing countries. We are currently interviewing PhD-level candidates to assist in their quest for higher education which will have a directly positive impact their communities as a whole.
