Summer Scholarship Fundraiser
Donate Today!
Hand Up for Women has empowered countless women to achieve their educational, interpersonal, and career goals. This summer, we have an exciting opportunity to make an even bigger impact.
We’re launching our Summer Scholarship Campaign! The starting goal is to raise $9000 to cover the full program cost for one deserving participant. Imagine the transformative impact this will have on her life!
Will you consider making a special summer gift to help us provide this life-changing opportunity?
Partner With Us: Empowering Women Through Corporate Sponsorship
At Hand Up for Women, we believe in the transformative power of education and support. We’re seeking partners who share our commitment to empowering women and building stronger communities.
If your corporation is looking to make a direct and impactful difference, we invite you to consider two powerful ways to partner with us:
- Create a Donation Match: Amplify the generosity of our individual donors by establishing a corporate match for contributions. Your company’s commitment can significantly boost our fundraising efforts, allowing us to serve more women.
- Establish an Annual Fellowship: Fund a “Hand Up for Women Fellowship” that covers the full program costs for one woman each year. This dedicated support ensures a participant can focus on her education and personal growth without financial burden, directly changing a life annually.
To discuss these opportunities and explore how your corporation can partner with Hand Up for Women, please email ev*@*************en.org.
Other ways to help:
Mentoring
Be a source of encouragement, accountability, and networking for one of our women. Many times, this is the first agenda-free female friend they have ever had.
Every woman in our program is matched with a trained mentor to serve as her personal support, accountability and encouragement source. Mentors attend a one-day training on a Saturday then, once matched, they meet with their participant once a week. Written covenants are used to outline the boundaries of these relationships.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TRAINING TO BECOME A MENTOR, PLEASE CONTACT KAREN MILLS AT ka***@*************en.org!!
Teaching
We need volunteer instructors in topics like Parenting, Women’s Health, and Personal Self-Defense for our expanded 18-month class session (as of Spring 2025).
Our volunteer instructors are the backbone of our program. We are occasionally looking for new and additional instructors in all subject areas. The night classes are on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. In the event that we begin daytime classes we will need instructors that are available during morning hours on Monday and Wednesday as well as new topics that would be helpful..
Providing Meals
Every Tuesday and Thursday, before class, groups and/or individuals provide a meal for the ladies. This is invaluable for the ladies and instructors that come straight from work.
This is also a wonderful time of getting to know each other and just decompressing after a busy day. Some meal providers sign up for the entire year’s classes and are scheduled for the same night each month. Others prefer to just provide one or two meals a year.
There are openings in the meal schedule for the 2024-2025 class year. Contact Amanda Roberts at ****@*************en.org“>am****@*************en.org for openings if you would like to provide a meal.
Service Project
Help maintain our new property at Miracle Ridge (over three acres!). Trimming trees/bushes, cleaning flower beds, and general landscaping are always appreciated.
Schedule a Speaker
Help spread the word! Have our Executive Director (usually with a graduate) speak to your church, business, or civic group about the organization and share a story.
Attend an Event
Join us for our gala in the winter, Angels and Axles Car Show in the spring, and two graduation celebrations a year.
