Charitable Donations

At least 30% percent of our annual operating expenses need to be supported by the generous giving of the community and our alumni and their families.  The Samaritan Women is a public charity that does not receive Federal funding to support its operations.

• Corporations are invited to support TSW through our scholarship program.  For a $60,000 gift, your company will cover all tuition, residency, and program fees for a girl for one year (or, on average, 3 girls for shorter-term stays).  This scholarship fund is used to off-set the cost of the program for girls whose families are unable to cover the cost of tuition and fees.  Please contact our Business Office about your desire to support the scholarship program.
  
  
• Companies large and small can add The Samaritan Women to your corporate giving program.  Talk to us about this idea and how your employees can help.
  
  
• Individuals, companies, churches, and other organizations can make individual charitable gifts to TSW at any time during the year.  Please send your tax-deductible donation to:

The Samaritan Women
Development Office
526 S. Chapel Gate Lane
Baltimore, Maryland 21229

Please specify if you would like your gift designated to some specific purpose and we will do our best to honor your request.
