Year-End Giving
Where the funds went in 2025
With so many wonderful people helping, donations raised, and meaningful connections we made this year, we were able to send out 3 donations.
Read about them below, and help us do this again next year.
Every penny donated to us goes directly out to help us bring our relatives home.
Special Request
Funding Direct to Family
We build lasting relationships with the families we honor in the MMIWMemorialGrove. Those relationships we hold very dear. There are times when those families come to us directly with a need that is associated with their loved ones that we honor in the Grove.
Special Requests are given directly to our memorial families for things like memorial service costs, funeral costs, ceremonies, court costs, search and rescue supplies put on by the families only, and anything along those lines to help their loved one.
With respect and love to that family, we are withholding their names at this time. Send them good thoughts as they navigate an emotional life event.
