Our Mission
Butterfly Effect is a non-profit, community-focused club where college women come together to build friendships and explore Los Angeles. With every event, we aim to create joy, connection, and purpose. As part of our commitment to giving back, all profits are donated monthly to the Vicente Ferrer Foundation—an organization that empowers women in rural India through education, housing, healthcare, and sustainable development. Founded by Spanish humanitarian Vicente Ferrer, the foundation has transformed millions of lives. Through our contribution, we hope to spark change—proving that fun and impact can go hand in hand.
