Women's Clothing Donations
If you have in-season, consignment-quality, women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories you no longer need, we can give them new life. Jubilee operates a free boutique for residents, alumnae and other low-income women in the community who would otherwise be unable to afford quality items. Clothing you donate becomes interview attire, a new job wardrobe, fitness-enabling athletic wear, a special event ensemble, or confidence-inspiring everyday pieces.
We accept donations at our main site on Capitol Hill during regular business hours. Please note, we are unable to take donations of men’s or children’s clothing, household items, books, electronics, furnishings, etc., unless specifically requested on our wish list. Women’s clothing donations that exceed our needs and storage capacity will be shared with community partners.
Host a Drive or Fundraiser
We see drives and fundraising events as more than just collecting resources; they also bring people together. Hosting a drive or fundraiser is a wonderful way to engage your community -- such as colleagues, a professional association, sorority or fraternity, neighborhood group, school, faith community, social club, family, or friends. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Ask peers to bring items from Jubilee’s Wish List as “admission” to a social gathering, association meeting, etc.
Host a virtual benefit where each person purchases an item from the Amazon Wish List and sent directly to Jubilee.
Bake sales, lemonade stands, and car washes are good, old-fashioned fundraisers that suit a range of ages.
Host a brunch, cocktail, or dinner party and ask guests for a “suggested donation” to benefit Jubilee.
Clean out your stuff and raise money for a good cause with a yard sale.
Set up a personal fundraising page or Facebook fundraiser to benefit Jubilee, and tell your contacts why this cause is important to you.
Give instead of gift: Ask for donations to Jubilee in your honor instead of gifts for holidays, birthdays, weddings, etc.
Toilet paper drives are a hit with students!
Bra drives are popular with women who don’t get embarrassed easily. Contact us for the most needed sizes.
Ask co-workers to bring in gently-worn women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories for Jubilee’s free boutique and help a low-income woman build a quality work wardrobe.
If you would like more information, supporting materials about Jubilee, or containers to fill for drives, please call or email.
Vehicle Donation
Donate your car, truck, RV, boat, motorcycle, or other vehicle and support women at Jubilee. To donate, contact our vehicle donation partner, Charitable Auto Resources (CARS).
A CARS representative will schedule a pickup that’s convenient for you, and provide you with an initial donor acknowledgement letter for your gift. CARS will send Jubilee a check for your donation within five business days of your vehicle’s sale. Jubilee will send you an acknowledgement letter within two weeks of receiving the donation.
It can take several weeks for a vehicle donation and sale to be completed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact CARS to check on your donation.
Matched Savings
You can support a woman on her final step to independent living with a contribution to Jubilee’s matched savings program. It works like this: Residents complete a money management course at Jubilee, then they open a savings account to apply what they’ve learned. If a woman consistently invests $20-100 a month without any withdrawals for 20 consecutive months, Jubilee will match her savings 2:1, giving her up to $6,000 at program completion.
Matching funds for this program are provided through the generosity of Jubilee donors. If you would like to make a donation specifically for the matched savings program or learn more, please contact.
The Donate Now button will direct you tor our donation form where you can type "Matched Savings" into the designation field. Please also select, "I would like to make this a recurring donation deducted monthly."
Stock Donations
If you would like to donate stock, mutual funds, or other securities to Jubilee, please download the securities gifting form. This document provides instructions for your financial institution as well as contact information for our Morgan Stanley representative. You may also email our Development Director for assistance or more information.
Planned Giving
Many of us give regularly to causes that matter to us, but few realize the impact we can have by making a gift in our will or estate plan, both for the organization we love and the people they support through their work. When you give a planned gift to Jubilee, you leave a legacy that helps lay the foundation for a woman to have a safe, stable and fulfilling future. Gifts of any size or type make a significant impact. Here are some options to consider:
Bequest
Gifts of cash, stock, mutual funds or property can be left to Jubilee Women’s Center in your will or living trust. This is simple and inexpensive to set up and allows you continued use of current assets and income before you make a contribution.
Retirement Plan
Name Jubilee Women’s Center as the beneficiary for an IRA, 401k or other retirement account.
Life Insurance Policy
Designate Jubilee Women’s Center as a beneficiary in a life insurance policy.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A CRT gives you income for life or a fixed number of years, and you can name Jubilee Women’s Center as a beneficiary for the remaining portion.
Estate Sale
Donate a fixed amount or percentage of proceeds from your estate sale to Jubilee Women’s Center.
Memorial Gifts
Request that family and friends make memorial gifts in your honor to Jubilee Women’s Center.
If you make a planned gift, please notify us so we have the opportunity to understand the intention of your gift.
