$26 for Her:

One Day. One Woman.
One Life Changed.

At The Beacon, we know that healing takes time—and every day matters. That’s why we launched the 26 for Her campaign: a movement of community members coming together to give just $26 a month—enough to provide one woman with a full day of safety, housing, and personalized support.

Rewrite Her Story—One Day at a Time

When you give $26, you’re not just covering a day of care—you’re helping a woman reclaim her story.

At The Beacon, that one day might mean she reconnects with her child.

It might be the day she celebrates sobriety.

It might be the day she finally believes: I can do this.

And that one day? It adds up.

Here’s the impact your support helps create:

  • 100% of graduates transition into permanent housing
  • 100% increase their income by over 300%
  • 100% graduate with at least $600 in savings
  • 100% leave with reliable income and health insurance

All of this—for just $26 a day. In contrast, it costs Iowa taxpayers an average of $101.59 per day to incarcerate someone in the state prison system. ​

And infinitely more transformative.

You're not funding services.

You're funding possibility.

You're helping her rise—stronger, steadier, and finally free to become who she’s always dreamed of being.
