On behalf of the women we serve: Thank you to all of our donors!

If you've attended a Motherless Daughters program, you know how profound the experience it can be. To sit in a room or on a screen with dozens of other women who share this foundational part of your history offers a type of healing that can't be achieved any other way.

With the generous fiscal sponsorship of CREATIVE VISIONS FOUNDATION, we are now able to accept tax-deductible donations for the following programs:

  • Scholarships for women to attend Motherless Daughters Retreats, as we expand our existing in-person retreats to serve up to 45 women at a time;

  • A new Peer Training Program, to begin in 2024, which will train women all over the world to lead our unique Motherless Daughters Support Circles, bringing support and healing to areas that might not otherwise have these resources;

  • Scholarships for our Writing With Hope courses for women to write and share their stories of mother loss;

  • A new Motherless Daughters Community Call — a virtual, weekly meeting place exclusively for adult women who have lost mothers in the past two years.


Thank you for your donations of $500 and above!
