About Us
Who We Are

At The Constellation Coalition, we believe that every woman is a star. She is fully equipped with everything she needs to do what stars do best – SHINE! When you connect the dots between women, we create beautiful pictures (Constellations!), tell beautiful stories, and become a guidance system for other women.
We are working to rewrite the story of poverty by connecting women across the globe- a renewed story that decimates poverty! It’s never been easier to become a part of that story and change a woman’s life forever!
What We Do
Our simple mission is to help women overcome poverty. We believe two things are key to doing that – business development and genuine relationships. Sponsorship is the simplest way to combine these two tools into one strategy. Our sponsorship program allows you to develop a friendship with a female entrepreneur while also funding her business training. She learns that she’s valuable and loved through your genuine care. She has access to the resources she needs to succeed through your financial investment.
In addition to our sponsorship, we also give small grants to our ministry partners for various projects they use to grow their business development programs.
