Support The Magnolia Project
Make A Difference!Empower Women to Rebuild Their Lives, Give Today!
Leaving an abusive situation is only the beginning. The difficult work often comes next: rebuilding financial stability, confidence, career direction, healthy relationships, and control over her future. Most support ends right where that climb begins.
The Magnolia Project walks with women through that next chapter. For six months, participants receive structured education, practical tools, accountability, and community through Foundation for the Future, Magnolia Momentum, and the GLOWE Summit.
The Math Behind the Mission
It costs $4,185 to walk one woman through the program. Once she reaches full-time work, she generates an estimated $30,000 a year in local economic value through wages spent here, taxes paid here, and public assistance she no longer needs.
The alternative is not free. Research puts the public cost of abuse at roughly $53,000 per woman who never gets the chance to stabilize.
One investment. Returned to Northeast Tennessee every year she stays standing.
* Economic value estimated from Bureau of Labor Statistics Tennessee wage data, Sullivan County tax rates, and state SNAP averages, assuming 70 percent local spending capture. Lifetime public cost per female victim from Peterson et al., American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2018.

Give Once: Help Fund Her Next Chapter
GLOWE Forward Annual Campaign
Leaving an abusive situation is only the beginning. Rebuilding financial stability, confidence, career direction, and control over the future takes time.
Your one-time gift helps fund a woman’s complete journey through Foundation for the Future, Magnolia Momentum, and the GLOWE Summit. She receives six months of structured education, practical tools, accountability, and community as she builds a stable, independent life.
Every gift helps a woman move forward with a plan, the skills to carry it out, and people who will stay beside her.
Give Monthly: Light the Way
Become a WayMaker
Women do not rebuild their lives according to a fundraising calendar. They need steady support through every week, every setback, and every step forward.
WayMakers are the monthly donors who make that stability possible. Their dependable gifts allow The Magnolia Project to plan ahead, deliver consistent programming, and be ready when a woman begins her six-month journey.
Monthly support helps us:
- Keep Foundation for the Future and Magnolia Momentum available at no cost
- Provide curriculum, materials, technology, and experienced instruction
- Stay connected to women beyond the classroom
- Prepare future cohorts without starting from zero each year
A WayMaker does more than fund a program. A WayMaker helps create the stable foundation a woman needs to build a life of her own.
Why Your Gift Matters
Leaving an abusive situation takes courage. Building a stable life afterward takes time, practical tools, and people who will stay.
Your gift helps women spend six months building the skills and confidence needed to move forward. It supports:
- Financial education and career preparation
- Tools for healthy boundaries, communication, and emotional regulation
- Accountability and encouragement through setbacks
- Connection to employers, educators, mentors, and community resources
Every gift helps a woman move forward with a stronger plan, greater confidence, and the support to keep going when rebuilding becomes difficult.
