Mother's Day.

Mothers' Day Movement (MDM) was founded by a small group of women who believe in making a difference for women and their families around the globe. Each year we support one nonprofit through a funding campaign. 100% of donations go to the chosen charity. Our goal is to shift the priorities of giving for Mother's Day.

OUR STORY

Back in 2011, when we learned of the $14 billion spent in the United States on Mother's Day—on things like flowers and cards—we thought there should be a movement, a Mothers’ Day Movement (MDM). Today that number exceeds $35.7 billion. Join us to move the funds to mothers and their families who need it around the globe and right here at home. 

Each year, MDM selects one 501c3 charity focused on the needs of women and children.  Join the movement.

Every year, 2.5 million children in the United States experience homelessness. The trauma of homelessness has far-reaching consequences: children who experience it are at increased risk of educational setbacks, developmental delays, health issues, emotional distress, and other challenges that can significantly affect their future success.

Founded in 1988, Family Promise is the nation’s leading organization addressing the crisis of homelessness for families with children. With nearly 200 sites across the country, Family Promise leverages local assets, implements real solutions, and advocates for families facing homelessness. They take on the full range of issues that can lead to a housing crisis, offering programs and services that include homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, housing solutions, and stabilization. 

OUR INSPIRATION

"It's time to move the apostrophe so that it becomes not just Mother's Day honoring a single mother but Mothers' Day, an occasion to try and help mothers around the globe as well."    
                 
-Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times
