“As an educator, I know that a lack of access to period products can get in the way of everything from learning to self-esteem to future career prospects. There are many causes worth donating to, but I choose Sylvia’s Sisters because I know that even a modest donation can lift that barrier for many students who deserve their fair chance at a bright future.”

Mike Taylor, Donor & Assistant Professor, Carnegie Mellon University

Period Pals: Become a Monthly Donor

Recurring monthly donations, from people we lovingly call our “Period Pals,” provide Sylvia’s Sisters with a reliable and consistent source of funding.

“I’ve set my donations at a comfortable level where I won’t notice them any more than I might notice a subscription to a streaming service. Even if monthly donations might individually be smaller than one-time contributions, we help Sylvia’s Sisters make lasting community connections by providing steady resources that they can count on in the months ahead.”
—Sylvia’s Sisters monthly donor

Make sure “monthly” is selected in the second drop down.

A Gift that Gives Back

A donation to Sylvia’s Sisters in honor of a loved one is the perfect gift for someone who already has everything, or for anyone who believes in kindness, equity, and community over consumerism.

You’ll receive a customizable certificate to download and print to let them know their gift helps others thrive.

GIFT A DONATION

Employer Matching Program

Make your donation go even further with a matching gift! Many companies match their employees’ donations to non-profit organizations, meaning your gift to Sylvia’s Sisters could be doubled or even tripled.

How does it work? Most programs have four main stages:

Richmond-region employers that offer matching gift programs include Dominion, CarMax, Altria, and Genworth Financial. Check with your HR department to see if they will match your Sylvia’s Sisters donations!

When requesting a matching gift, you may need the following information:

  • EIN: 47-2593789
  • Mailing Address: P.O. Box 13812, Richmond, Virginia 23225
  • Phone Number: (804) 482-1288
  • Email Address: information@sylviassisters.org

“It is imperative that we empower those girls that may lack resources and support during this time and Sylvia’s Sisters helps to do just that!

Donations go a long way since Sylvia’s Sisters is run largely by volunteers – donations go directly towards supplies and helping their mission.”

Beena Parekh, Donor

Donor-Advised Funds

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting the organizations you care about, like Sylvia’s Sisters.

Do you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) managing your charitable giving? Recommending a grant to Sylvia’s Sisters through your DAF is a powerful way to maximize your impact. You can receive immediate tax benefits while your gift grows over time and Sylvia’s Sisters receives funding vital to continuing our work towards menstrual equity.
