Our founder, Ann Bancroft, is one of the world’s preeminent polar explorers and an internationally recognized leader who is dedicated to inspiring women and girls around the world to unleash the power of their dreams…in other words, Ann is a trailblazer. See the woman above crossing the snow and ice? Yeah, that’s Ann.

Our ABF grant alumnae are the young women currently making tracks through this “wild country” we call the 21st century. Through their grant activities, they have made strides in pushing themselves to reach their full potential. Which, in our minds, means they are trailblazers.

Stay tuned for upcoming blog posts from ABF Trailblazers. In the meantime, read more about their stories on our website.
