The Broader Impact of Supporting Women-Owned Event Businesses Like MISGIF

Hiring a woman-owned vendor like MISGIF doesn’t just elevate your event—it contributes to a more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable economy. Here’s why that matters:

• Significant Economic Contribution – According to Business Insider, as of 2024 women own over 14 million businesses in the U.S., accounting for 39.1% of all businesses and employing over 10.7 million workers. That’s a 13.6% increase since 2019—proof that women-led businesses are shaping the future of the economy.

• Rapid Growth and Resilience – Women-founded startups represented 49% of all new businesses in 2024, up from just 29% in 2019, according to Business Insider. This boom is largely driven by young women and women of color seeking greater independence and leadership in business.

• Community Investment – According to Ernst & Young, studies show that women entrepreneurs are more likely to prioritize community engagement, social impact, and sustainability in their business practices. Supporting their work helps strengthen the fabric of local communities like Phoenix, Arizona.

• Role Models and Inspiration – According to the CDA Council, women-owned businesses offer powerful visibility for future generations of female entrepreneurs. They show young girls and women that entrepreneurship is a viable, impactful, and fulfilling path. Now more than ever, this is extremely important.
