FEATURED FUNDRAISERS
HER STORY 365
Running a nonprofit that depends on the generosity of sponsors and individual donors is never easy. It is even more challenging when the flow of weekly funds is only a projection of what might be available for support. That’s where our Her Story 365 program comes in. Her Story 365 is a recurring giving program that allows for systematic, monthly donations from supporters like you, allowing the Memorial to operate based on actual known funding instead of projections alone. By becoming a Her Story 365 sustainer, you help us plan more effectively – getting more impact for each dollar entrusted to us.
Even before the Memorial was dedicated nearly three decades ago, we were collecting and curating the amazing stories of the more than 3 million women who have served this nation, beginning with the American Revolution. Today, our important mission endures as military women yet are breaking barriers and demonstrating there is nothing they cannot and will not do for their country. Our challenge at the Memorial is to do justice to their service by achieving a world-class standard of excellence in all that we do.
Her Story 365 is a recurring giving program that makes it more manageable to support the Memorial’s programs and ensuring your gift has immediate and year-long impact. You select the amount you wish donate on a recurring basis and your donations will be automatically charged to your credit card based on the schedule you choose.
Enrollment is easy to set up online by clicking on the link below and then clicking “Log In.” When completing the donation form, select “Monthly,” “Annually,” or “Quarterly” from the “Donation Frequency” section to enroll. If “One-time” remains selected, you will not be enrolled in recurring giving. To enroll in Her Story 365, you will need to be logged in to your MWM account as it is the only way to save your payment details.
