making an impact

At Birdies, we exist to help women fly in big, bold, beautiful ways. We're female founded, owned, and run. That's why we dedicate the Birdies platform to helping lift other women through community, mentoring, entrepreneurship, and independence. Everything we do is meant to ignite what's possible - for as many Birdies as possible.

our mission

We’re on a mission to support women on all kinds of journeys, and we make good on our word through collaborations, charitable giving, and responsible actions that create impact through the power of community and entrepreneurship.


As part of our sponsorship of the LA Professional Women’s Football Club, Angel City FC, we partnered together on The Soar Internship Program. Since 2021, 11 high school girls in under-resourced communities receive paid opportunities to grow and learn valuable skills. 


We also partnered with Step Up, a leading mentorship nonprofit, to create the Fly Together Mentorship Program helping over 100 amazing girls and gender-expansive teens.


Through our Soles4Souls partnership, we’ve donated over 54,000 pairs of shoes which adds up to 1,642,260 less pounds of carbon dioxide emissions and 68,427 less pounds of textiles in landfills. Supporting Soles4Souls also creates micro-enterprise opportunities for women around the world.


connect

Birdies lives and breathes our mission of building a flock of strong and inspirational women—amazing employees, brand advocates, and devoted fans who’ve posted over 50,000 5-star reviews and counting. 


We love bringing the flock together locally and hosting community events, speaker series, book clubs, and more in our stores. 


Plus when you work at Birdies, we encourage our flock to grow with us and offer daily skills training to make your career (and life!) take off.

protect

We care deeply about making a positive social impact, but we also recognize how critical it is to reduce our environmental impact. 


This year we minimized waste by reducing our packaging and incorporating recycled components whenever we can.
