Connecting People Who Care With Causes That Matter
Donors give to causes they feel passionate about, which hold meaning for them and provide benefit to something or someone they value. We offer several ways for our donors to make an impact, whether the goal is to support a favorite non-profit, honor a loved one, or create a personal legacy.
Give what you can afford to give, to something that is meaningful to you, and will benefit those you want to help. The size of the gift does not matter, because every gift makes a difference.
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” Pablo Picasso
Over the years, the Women's Fund has consistently given to the Assistance League of SE MI in support of Assault Survivor Kits. Any time a woman goes to the hospital as the result of reporting an assault, her clothes become evidence. Each Assault Survivor kit provides new clothing and toiletries for survivors of abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault.
