150 survivors – 80 adults and 70 children – found safe harbor in Doorways' safehousing in fiscal year 2025. That's more than any previous year, and more than double the total we sheltered in 2020 (70 survivors). The majority of families were headed by women. View this graphic to learn more.

Double Your Gift to Help Meet the Growing Need

With more than double the need for emergency shelter, your support is critical. We can't do this without you.

Thankfully, our generous matching donors have also doubled their total matching donations this year to $150,000! That means that every donation you make this month will be matched, one-to-one, up to that total. Please take advantage of this opportunity to double your donation and help ensure that every survivor can get the help they need, when they need it, because survivors in crisis can't wait.

Feeling Appreciated? Stock Up!

Doorways happily accepts stock donations! Donating your appreciated stock is one of many ways to give to Doorways! We also take QCDs, RMDs, and DAF gifts. Questions? Contact Joy Myers, Chief Development and Strategy Officer, at [email protected] or (703) 504-9290.
