$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.
Your support provides trauma-informed care for 66 women every single day—34 in our shelter at Sherman Hill and 32 in our affordable housing apartments at The Beacon Village.
Together, we’re building something extraordinary:
100% of graduates transition into permanent housing
100% leave with reliable income and health insurance
100% graduate with at least $600 in savings
85% of women in our Graduate Program do not relapse or return to incarceration
Graduates increase their income by more than 300%
All of this—for just $26 a day.
By comparison, it costs Iowa taxpayers between $87 and $103 per day to incarcerate someone with similar needs.
But your investment creates something far more powerful than cost savings.
It creates transformation.
You’re not just funding services.
You’re fueling potential.
You’re giving her a chance to rise—stronger, steadier, and finally free to become who she was always meant to be.
Join us. Help us reach our goal of 2,000 monthly givers—and walk alongside every woman rewriting her story, one day at a time.
