About Us
TrilogE Women’s Support Foundation- Encourage. Empower. Engage.
Our story - and the journey we walk with every woman we serve.
Who We Are
TrilogE Women's Support Foundation serves women who are ready to rebuild after a major life challenge. We walk alongside women as they recover from trauma, domestic violence, health challenges, loss, difficult life transitions, and more.
Through mentorship, life-skills workshops, and supportive relationships, women gain the confidence, practical tools, and meaningful connections they need to move forward and build lives of greater stability, independence, and purpose.
Our Mission
TrilogE Women’s Support Foundation guides women through a structured journey, creating growth, confidence, and leadership. Through our three-phase “E” Program, - Encourage, Empower, and Engage - we provide mentorship, skill development, and meaningful support that helps women rebuild their confidence, strengthen their independence, and create lasting positive change in their lives and communities.
We believe every woman deserves a clear, supported path forward and the opportunity to transform her own journey into a source of encouragement and empowerment for others.
Our Purpose
TrilogE was established on the belief that meaningful transformation unfolds through intentional stages of growth. Women rebuilding their lives after significant life challenges deserve a structured pathway that meets them where they are and grows with them.
We walk alongside women throughout their journey by providing mentorship, practical skills, accountability, and opportunities for continued growth. As women build confidence and strengthen their lives, they are empowered to use their experiences to support and inspire others.
At TrilogE, individual growth becomes collective strength—because when women are supported, empowered, and connected, transformation continues from one woman to the next.
Our Story
TrilogE began with a simple observation: many women were ready for change, but the path forward was unclear. Resources were often disconnected and limited in scope; a workshop here, a service there, or a program without a clear next step. Women were taking the first courageous steps toward transformation, but too often the support ended before their growth did.
We wanted to change that. We offer a three-phase model that walks with a woman from her first step toward change through the moment she's ready to guide someone else through theirs.
What We Believe
Change is developed with purpose. Real change starts with a woman rediscovering her own voice and worth. Grow needs structure. Encouragement alone isn't enough. Lasting change requires accountability and consistency. Every woman is a potential leader. The women we serve today are the mentors who will guide others tomorrow. No one should walk alone. Community and connection are core to healing, not an afterthought.
Our Three Phases
Phase I — Encourage: A program for women to build their confidence through the core elements of our foundation.
Phase II — Empower: Continuing the core program, with a focus on accountability and lasting change.
Phase III — Engage: For women wanting to become a mentor or volunteer within the organization.
Join Us
Whether you're beginning your own journey, ready to mentor, or looking to support our work — there's a place for you at TrilogE.

Wendy Palmer
Certified Public Accountant
Wendy Palmer is a Certified Public Accountant with extensive experience helping businesses and nonprofit organizations navigate the financial and operational challenges that come with growth. Over the course of her career, she has served as CFO and financial advisor to organizations across a wide range of industries, including real estate development and finance, retail, professional services, and nonprofit organizations. She also owns and operates her own CPA practice, where she works closely with business owners and individuals on accounting, tax, and financial matters and helps the people behind them figure out complicated financial problems.
Her accounting career started somewhat unusually. As a high school student in her hometown of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Wendy worked as an internal auditor for a golf and tennis resort. Apparently, discovering accounting as a teenager didn’t scare her away. She went on to earn an associate degree in accounting, a bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah, and a master’s degree from Weber State University before becoming a licensed CPA.
Throughout her career, Wendy has served as CFO and financial advisor to organizations in a wide variety of industries, including real estate development and finance, retail, professional services, and nonprofit organizations. She also owns and operates her own CPA practice, where she helps business owners and individuals navigate accounting, taxes, finances, and all of the unexpected problems.
Outside of work, Wendy is a wife, mother of seven, and grandmother. She loves scrapbooking and other creative projects—a useful counterbalance to spending far too much of her life looking at spreadsheets—and treasures time spent with her family.
Wendy is especially proud to serve on the board of TrilogE because she believes strongly in the power of women supporting other women. TrilogE’s mission of Encouraging, Empowering, and Engaging women recognizes that sometimes a person simply needs someone in her corner while she finds her footing again. Wendy loves that the journey doesn’t end there: women who have been supported and strengthened are encouraged to turn around and become that source of support for someone else, creating a continuing cycle of confidence, connection, and strength.
