Current Fundraising Campaign: Holiday Toy Drive
Every child deserves to feel the magic of the holidays — and every mother deserves the joy of giving. Our Holiday Toy Drives make it possible for incarcerated moms to send a gift to their children, even when they can’t be there in person. Each donation helps us provide new, wrapped presents that mothers can choose and send with a personal message of love. Together, we can help families feel connected, seen, and remembered this season
Additional Ways to Support
We invite you to give in a way that feels personal and powerful. Here are some of the ways your generosity can meet real needs:
Hygiene Closets: Help us provide basic hygiene items—like soap, deodorant, and shampoo—to women who cannot afford them. These essentials are about more than cleanliness; they’re about dignity.
Book Club: Help us bring inspiring, thought-provoking books into prison settings so women can reflect, learn, and connect with one another through shared discussion.
Read Together Book Program: Help us purchase copies of the same book for mothers and their children, allowing them to read together from a distance and talk about the stories during phone calls. It’s a simple but powerful way to stay connected.
Letter-Writing Supplies: Help us provide cards, paper, and postage so mothers can keep in touch with their children—offering love, reassurance, and presence through every handwritten note.
Travel Support for Family Visits: Help cover the cost of travel for children and caregivers who would otherwise be unable to visit. Many prisons are located hours away from home, making visits financially and logistically out of reach.
Back-to-School Kits: Give incarcerated mothers the chance to pack school supplies for their children making it possible for them to contribute to a meaningful milestone in their child’s life.
Student Stipends: Support stipends for college students studying women’s issues and criminal justice who are helping move AIW’s mission forward through research, writing, and outreach.
If you believe, as we do, that every woman deserves dignity and every child deserves connection—your gift is a meaningful way to act on that belief.
Let’s build something better, together.
