About International Women's Forum

International Women's Forum (IWF) is a global, nonprofit, membership organization that brings together accomplished women leaders from business, government, academia, the arts, and civil society. Founded in 1982, it operates from its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and now includes thousands of members in forums and chapters across dozens of countries and regions. IWF focuses on advancing women’s leadership worldwide through networking, convenings such as its World Leadership Conferences, and leadership development initiatives like the IWF Fellows Program and other educational offerings.

A charge from “INTNL WOMENS FOR” or similar wording on a card statement is very likely related to International Women's Forum activity. Common scenarios include payment of membership dues, conference or event registration fees, donations to the organization or its leadership foundation, sponsorships, or payments for IWF leadership programs and associated services processed via their online platforms (often hosted under iwforum.org or related subdomains). Some charges may appear with supporting details like a Washington, D.C. address or the phone number +1 202‑387‑1010, which is associated with IWF headquarters and its programs.

If you have questions about a charge, start by checking your email for receipts from iwforum.org, iwf@iwforum.org, or related program portals, as well as any conference or membership communications. Compare the transaction date and amount to recent IWF membership renewals, conference registrations, donations, or program tuition payments. If you still cannot identify the charge, contact IWF directly using the contact details on iwforum.org (rather than any number in a suspicious email or text) and provide the date, amount, and last four digits of the card used; they can confirm whether the payment is in their system. If the charge appears unauthorized and IWF cannot locate a matching record, you should then dispute it with your card issuer following their fraud procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my credit card statement show a charge from “INTNL WOMENS FOR” or “International Women’s Forum”?

This descriptor is typically used for transactions processed by the International Women’s Forum, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. The charge may correspond to membership dues, conference registration, a leadership program fee, or a donation made through their website or a secure event/registration portal linked to iwforum.org.

What types of payments commonly result in charges from International Women’s Forum?

Common payments include annual or periodic membership dues, registration fees for IWF World Leadership Conferences or regional events, tuition for the IWF Fellows Program or other leadership initiatives, and voluntary donations or sponsorships. Review your recent IWF activities or invoices to see which item matches the amount on your statement.

How can I verify that an International Women’s Forum charge on my card is legitimate?

First, search your email for receipts or confirmations from iwforum.org, iwf@iwforum.org, or their program portals around the transaction date. Compare the billed amount with any IWF invoices for dues, events, or programs. If you still have questions, use the contact information on iwforum.org to reach IWF headquarters and ask them to look up the transaction by date, amount, and your name.

How do I get a copy of a receipt or invoice for my International Women’s Forum payment?

Log into the IWF member or program portal, if applicable, and check your account or registration history for downloadable invoices and receipts. If you cannot find the document, contact IWF via the email or phone number listed on iwforum.org, provide transaction details, and request that they resend the official receipt for your records or expense reimbursement.

Can I request a refund or change for an International Women’s Forum event or program charge?

Refunds and changes depend on the specific IWF policy for the event or program—for example, world conferences, leadership programs, or membership dues may each have distinct cancellation deadlines and fees. Review the terms included in your registration confirmation or on the event information page, then contact IWF directly through the official channels on iwforum.org to request a refund, credit, or name change if allowed.

Does International Women’s Forum place temporary or pending charges on my card?

In most cases, IWF processes charges as completed transactions at the time of registration, dues payment, or donation. However, some payment gateways may briefly show a pending authorization before settlement. If you see a small or duplicate pending amount, monitor your account for a few days; if it does not clear or looks incorrect, contact both IWF and your card issuer for clarification.

How can I stop future charges from International Women’s Forum, such as recurring dues?

If your membership dues or program fees are set to renew automatically, you will typically receive advance communication from IWF. To prevent future renewals, follow the instructions in your membership or program documentation or contact IWF through iwforum.org to change your billing preferences, end auto-renewal, or resign from membership according to their policies.

What should I do if I don’t recognize an International Women’s Forum charge and I’m not involved with IWF?

First, confirm that no one else on your account (such as a spouse, business partner, or authorized card user) registered for an IWF event or paid dues. If no one recognizes the transaction, contact International Women’s Forum using the contact information on iwforum.org to see if the payment is in their system under your card details. If they cannot locate it or confirm it as yours, immediately notify your card issuer and dispute the transaction as potentially fraudulent.
