How You Can Help
The National
Research Center for Women & Families is a not-for profit
organization that provides you with information that can improve
the lives of you and your family, and gives a voice in Washington
to people and ideas that would otherwise not be heard. Think
of us as a voice you can trust that provides information you
can use.

We have been designated as one of America's best charities
because we are audited every year and keep our fundraising costs
and administrative costs extremely low. That means that your
donation is spent on programs to help adults and children, not
on mailings or ads.
We depend on donations for most of our new projects, and
so we hope you will add our Center to your list of favorite
charities. Your tax-free donation will enable us to do more
to improve the lives of women, children, and families across
the country. Contributions can be made by check or online.
And, if you live in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and
contribute to the Combined Federal Campaign, you can support
our work by contributing to # 11967, or write in our organization's
name in your United Way contribution.
Your generous donation of $100 or more will enroll you in
our Circle of Friends. Contributions of $250 or more will
enroll you in our Leadership Circle. Contributions of $1,000
or more will enroll you in the President's Circle.
Your support makes a difference! Here's some examples of how
you might want to designate your donations:
-
$5,000 -- this "Legacy" gift will pay for a one-semester Fellowship named in honor of someone whose legacy you'd like us to continue. For example, you can honor a loved one who died from breast cancer with a Fellowship named for her that helps improve treatment for breast cancer patients. Or you can honor a wonderful mother with a Fellowship named for her and focused on advocating for policies that help working moms.
-
$2,500 -- a Foremothers gift will support our Foremother Awards, honoring unsung heroes and other women who made our lives so much more interesting
-
$2,000 -- supports our Survival Guides for Military Spouses series, to help make their lives easier
$1,000 -- supports the development, printing, and dissemination of a new Survival Guide for Working Moms to millions of women
-
$250 -- pays for a workshop that educates young women to avoid date rape
-
$100 -- helps train a college woman who wants to learn how to influence public policies that affect women, children, and families
$40 -- pays for our Online Health Hotline personalized medical information for a day
Making a donation through our secure server is fast and easy, and when we receive your donation, we will send you an acknowledgement in the mail for tax purposes. If you'd like the donation to honor someone, we can send an acknowledgement to them as well! Click the button below to make a donation using your credit card, or send a check to the address below. Thank you for your support!
Please note: We use a nonprofit service to process our
credit card transactions. LOC IND CH ORG is the name that
will appear on your credit card statement – not The National
Research Center for Women & Families. Using that service
keeps our costs low so we can use your donation to help
women and families across the country!
Or, to make a donation by check, please make your check
payable to NRC for Women & Families and send to:
National Research Center for Women & Families
1701 K St. NW, Suite 700
Washington, DC 20006
Here's a new way to help women and families, help the
environment, and clean out some mess at home!

anymore, you can drop it off at our office in person OR

your phone to them. They will recycle the phone and send
us a donation for each phone donated. It's easy-- and
