Since the 1980s, March has been nationally recognized and celebrated as Women’s History Month, and it can serve as a great opportunity to shine light on women-focused causes, organizations and charities to support this month and beyond. If you want to learn more about women-owned brands to support, we have a running list that we think NBC Select readers would want to learn more about.
Below, we’re highlighting brands spanning product categories like apparel, beauty, food, wellness and more that have pledged to give back on International Women’s Day (March 8) and throughout Women’s History Month, whether that’s through donations, activism or campaigns.
