From books for our book club to grocery gift cards, donations help cover the costs for our operations and events. The American Widow Project is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit that survives off the kindness of others. Our Tax Id (EIN) is 26-0901008 and you can view our IRS approval letter or check out our Guidestar profile.
How Your Donations Help:
- Expanding our comprehensive approach toward meeting the needs to unify the new generation of Military Widows by broadening our outreach programs and activities necessary to fulfilling the ultimate goal of keeping the fallen spouses legacy alive.
- Sponsoring widow’s attendance to events without worrying about financial costs of accommodations, activities and more.
- Dispersing complimentary AWP Kits (Documentary DVD, AWP Pins, & Brochures) to all military widows.
- Providing a multitude of resources towards a healing journey through widowhood.
A Special Thanks to all of our supporters!
We give a special thanks to the individuals, families and organizations that have supported AWP. Thanks to your contribution we can continue to develop programming to reach more widows and honor the legacy of our fallen heroes.
