- Personal foundation, corporate and individual contributions range from yearly gifts of up to $20,000 to donations of $10 or $15 whenever people can afford to do so. You can give to our core program, or can direct your contribution to a particular project, by mail, online through Karma411, or by purchasing our publications, posters and note cards, where all proceeds beyond costs go to support our programs.
- If you give through Karma411, a cause-related fundraising tool, you will be given an opportunity to indicate how you would like your money to be used. Click here for the Spring 2009 Appeal, which will allow you to donate toward our general support. Click here to give to our newest bridge workshop, a Patchogue-based bilingual group that Herstory created as Long Islanders mourned the death of Marcelo Lucero, the victim of a tragic hate crime that shook his neighborhood. Click here to give to our “Black, Brown and White” bridges group in Huntington Station.
- We also have three special scholarship funds, created in the names of the women we honored at our annual gala luncheons, the Diane Cohen Scholarship, to be given to younger Herstory writers who are working against the odds; the Suzy Sonenberg Scholarship, for a Herstory member in transition from a prison workshop into one in the community; and the Kathy Rosenthal Scholarship for a writer in one of the community workshops who has an agenda of giving back to others through the tale that she tells.
- During this time of severe funding cuts, we depend more than ever on individual contributions – no matter how large or small. As part of its core funding for 2009, the Horace and Amy Hagedorn Fund in Long Island Community Foundation has gifted us with a special challenge – up to $5,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar for every new donor to Herstory. To give to our Spring “Hard Times Can Create Opportunities” Karma411 Campaign, with an additional $1,000 dollar-for-dollar match from Island Diversified added to the Hagedorn Fund challenge, click here.
- As a foundation or corporate sponsor, you may choose to offer a dollar-for-dollar challenge online through Karma411. Please contact our board member John Murcott at john.murcott@karma411.com should you wish to do so.
- You may chose to create your own scholarship or endowment for a cause within Herstory, in your own name or in the name or memory of a loved one, or to honor a Herstory writer.
- Watch our wish list for in-kind donation needs.
