She Hustle Collective Foundation Year One
Donation protected
This campaign is part of the collection of funds for our organization year one. The funds are being collected from January 2020 - July 31, 2021.
Our Mission: "INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE - One Girl At A Time".
Aim not be successful, but rather to be valuable!
Started in January 2020, we are a small group with big goals. Our mission is to be able to build up and create a grand support network for women to access funds to support them in Business, Education & Community ventures. Our founders are women from all walks of life and all age groups.
We believe in diversity, equality of opportunity and empowerment through education, skill development and readily available access to resources.
We have created a rough timeline to help us demonstrate where the funds donated will be going and how they will be used. We believe in 100% transparency so all who contribute and all who benefit can feel belief and understanding in our ideals and processes.

Our founder's story:
My name is Danielle Pilon. I am the owner of Danielle’s SOS Bookkeeping, She Hustle Collective & Mom Accountant Talk Podcast.
I am however, much more than just a business owner, I am also a mother of two princesses Aila & Lavinnia, a wife, a writer, an educator, and a philanthropist.
My journey to create She Hustle Collective and now She Hustle Collective Foundation stems back to 2015 when I was hit out of the blue by a stroke I didn’t see coming. Completely A-typical, it was one of those things that should never have happened, but never the less it did. I don’t need to go through all the details but suffice it to say it scared me more than I can put into words. Pre-stroke I recall being very confident and sure I could take on the world, and I can truly say even though I had some personal struggles to deal with I wasn’t really afraid of everything.
Flash forward to today and there’s a deep rooted uneasiness that lives inside me. When you sit with doctors and they tell you you are 80% more likely to have another stroke before the age of 30, because you were 24 when the first one happened, and no matter what you do there’s really nothing that can prevent you from having another one you get to make a decision. You get to choose between being paralyzed by fear and giving up or you can push through the fear and make the most of what you have. I wish I could say I never have bad days, but that’s simply not true. I do. But I also choose to have a lot of good days. My philosophy is one of perseverance. As a mother of two girls, the ideals of making sure they have access to resources and education to create the best lives for themselves and their families in the future are very near and dear to me.
My vision with She Hustle Collective Foundation is to create and facilitate a hub or resource center which will house a collection of like minded individuals and organization who collectively believe in supporting women of all ages on a global platform in the areas of Education, Business Ventures, and Community driven projects and events.
The foundation’s role will include securing monthly and annual donors who believe in our cause so we can provide:
Business capital to those wishing to start, develop, and expand their business ventures,
Education funding to those who are wanting to attend post secondary, trade schools or other institutions in pursuit of higher learning
Community Support funding for projects that bring together and help create processes and programs that benefit women
Our process will include a board of directors who will have a say in reviewing and screening applicants. Each area of focus will have requirements to allow those who are willing and determined to rise to be able to succeed and secure support to see their dreams become reality.
There is no bias to age or location. Our goal is seek out and search for women who’s passions burn bright and who’s determination and focus is unyielding.
Every recipient will be featured online and be given a chance to tell their story.
Since my stroke I have been determined and driven to leave a legacy for not only my daughters who are fortunate enough to live in Canada, but also for others who may not be so fortunate. I value work ethic, determination and passion. I believe in equal opportunity for all women no matter their background or heritage, color, creed, or religion. If you are going to change the world you simply have to ask for help and I am pleased to be able to create an open door for those who are looking for it.
Here’s to an amazing journey, and I thank each and everyone of you for believing in my dream and helping me be able to take that dream and share it with the world.
