At Evergreen Awards, we are proud to recognize Reignite as the recipient of the Best Jewish Women’s Healing Initiative in the United States of 2026 award. This recognition honors organizations that address meaningful challenges with compassion, innovation, and community impact. After reviewing Reignite’s mission, community-centered approach, leadership vision, accessibility efforts, and commitment to supporting women through connection and personal growth, the Evergreen Awards committee determined that Reignite exemplifies excellence in the field of Jewish women’s healing and empowerment.

Addressing Challenges That Often Go Unseen

Many women face significant personal challenges while continuing to support their families, careers, communities, and loved ones.

Life transitions, caregiving responsibilities, grief, relationship difficulties, isolation, and periods of uncertainty can affect individuals in different ways. While these experiences are common, many women navigate them quietly, often without access to the support systems or community connections that can help them feel understood and encouraged.

The Evergreen Awards committee found that Reignite stands out because of its understanding that meaningful support often begins with connection. The organization has developed a community-focused model that encourages women to engage with others, build relationships, and access resources designed to support personal development and resilience.

A Community-Centered Approach

What distinguishes Reignite is its commitment to supporting women through multiple aspects of life rather than focusing on a single issue or challenge.

Through educational opportunities, community gatherings, mentorship initiatives, scholarships, and relationship-building experiences, Reignite seeks to create an environment where women can connect with others who share similar experiences and values.

The Evergreen Awards committee evaluated Reignite across numerous criteria, including mission clarity, leadership authenticity, accessibility, educational value, community engagement, innovation, long-term vision, participant support systems, and cultural relevance.

Across these areas, Reignite demonstrated a consistent commitment to creating opportunities for women to strengthen relationships, build confidence, access support, and participate in a community that encourages personal growth.

Leadership Guided by Purpose

Another factor contributing to this recognition is the vision behind the organization.

Founded by Liana Goffman, Reignite was created from a belief that meaningful change often begins when individuals feel seen, supported, and connected to others. The organization reflects a commitment to helping women build relationships and engage with resources that encourage personal development and renewed purpose.

As Goffman explains, “Many women become experts at carrying pain in silence while convincing everyone around them that they’re fine.”

The Evergreen Awards committee viewed this perspective as an important reflection of challenges many women experience. Reignite’s programs and initiatives are designed to create spaces where participants can engage in meaningful conversations, build authentic connections, and access opportunities for continued growth.

Creating Positive Impact Beyond the Individual

One of the most compelling aspects of Reignite’s mission is its recognition that support and connection often extend beyond a single individual.

When women develop stronger support networks and engage in communities that encourage growth, the benefits can influence families, friendships, workplaces, faith communities, and future generations.

As Goffman notes, “Healing doesn’t just change one life. It changes the lives of everyone connected to that person.”

The Evergreen Awards committee viewed this philosophy as a reflection of Reignite’s broader vision. Rather than focusing solely on short-term engagement, the organization seeks to foster long-term relationships and meaningful community involvement that can continue to provide value over time.

Participants are encouraged to move from isolation toward connection and from uncertainty toward greater confidence through supportive relationships and shared experiences.

Why Reignite Earned This Recognition

The Evergreen Awards committee considered several key factors when selecting Reignite for this honor.

The organization addresses an important need within the community through a model centered on connection, education, and support.

Its programs are guided by authentic leadership and a clearly defined mission.

Its scholarship initiatives are designed to help reduce barriers to participation and expand access to its programs and events.

Its community-centered approach encourages lasting relationships and support networks among participants.

Its long-term vision focuses on creating sustainable opportunities for engagement and personal growth that can continue benefiting women and their communities over time.

Most importantly, Reignite recognizes the importance of creating spaces where women feel welcomed, supported, and connected while navigating life’s challenges and opportunities.

Building a Legacy of Connection and Growth

The Evergreen Awards committee believes that Reignite represents more than a nonprofit initiative.

It represents a growing effort focused on connection, resilience, community engagement, and personal development.

Its vision extends beyond individual programs and events toward creating a framework that encourages stronger relationships, greater community involvement, and expanded access to supportive resources. Through ongoing outreach efforts, educational opportunities, scholarships, and partnerships, Reignite continues to advance its mission of helping women build meaningful connections and engage with opportunities for growth.

As Goffman explains, “When a woman heals, families become stronger, relationships improve, and future generations benefit.”

That perspective reflects the heart of Reignite’s mission and the reason it has earned recognition as the Best Jewish Women’s Healing Initiative in the United States of 2026.
