In addition to supporting survivors by buying their products, we need donations to run our nonprofit programs. Donations to our programs are 100% tax
deductible.
The legal name of our charity is T.E.N. Charities so that is the name you will see on your receipt.
Every dollar donated to this campaign will go directly to programs for survivors, helping women and children get free and remain free from slavery with education and empowerment programs.
Not only will all your donations go to programs (our overhead is
funded separately) but we are committed to stretching every dollar of
impact from your donations. We keep our staff small, don't waste money
on anything fancy, recycle
every box, and keep overhead costs and salaries to an absolute minimum.
We are committed to using every penny to preventing slavery and helping survivors.
Our Three Funding Priorities:
Survivor Training and Employment.
Support or training and jobs programs, especially our jewelry program
that provides tools, six months of metalsmith training and full
employment in a high value profession for the survivors. You can follow
the development of this program and hear from the trainers and the
survivors in our blog From Dust To Dazzle.
Free Forever Campaign. Made by Survivors' newest project is to build a shelter for 125
survivors, along with a training and employment center for 200 survivors, in partnership
with Womens Interlink
Foundation. The employment center will train, employ and place in
outside jobs hundreds of survivors and high risk women in the Darjeeling
region of India.
Our goal for this project is to give people in this region the tools to remain Free Forever from slavery and exploitation. The struggle for freedom does not end at the moment at rescue. Because
many survivors were trafficked due to extreme poverty, lack of economic
alternatives, and lack of education, they - and their children - are
vulnerable to being trafficked again if these issues are not addressed.
The
cost of building the shelter and first year operations of the
employment center will be about $110,000. Made by Survivors' commitment
is to raise $30,000 by Dec. 31st 2011, to cover half of the first phase
of construction, with the rest contributed by our partner agency, WIF,
the government of W. Bengal, and corporate and foundation partners.
Education. We currently send 180 survivors and children of slavery survivors to school. Some of the cost is covered by sponsors but we also use money from general donations for this important purpose. Education is a guaranteed path out of slavery and exploitation.
How to Made a Tax Deductible Donation:
Choose an amount to add to your cart. You can earmark your donation for one of our three priority
programs, or make a general donation to all our programs. We are a 501
(c) 3 charity, and donations are exempt from US taxes. We will send you a tax receipt within 2 weeks.
Note - if you see a shipping charge, that is a software bug, we will remove it in processing.
