We need your support

Help us raise the roof by donating a designer handbag or other items for the Diva Bag Auction 

The “Diva Bag Auction” is an interactive giving event started in 2005, where supporters donate a new or like-new handbag that is auctioned to raise funds for Girls For A Change (GFAC) programs. This year’s auction will raise funds for our One Million Reasons to Build campaign to purchase and remodel our Chesterfield Branch in order to serve more girls in the Richmond Region.

We're reaching out to the community to ask for your support and/or connections so that we can raise $350,000 from the auction in order to unlock matching funds from another donor. 

How you can help

• Donate a bag: Donate a like-new luxury or handcrafted handbag OR a well-kept vintage bag. Donate here.

• Make a donation

This year’s Diva Bag Auction will be held online and its auctioneers will be GFAC celebrity supporters like Erica Ash, Actress Lindsey Blackwell, Actor Chad L. Coleman, Actress Jodi Turner-Smith, and more. Donors will not only be helping a Black, woman-owned nonprofit gain equity through ownership (read the article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch), their handbag and/or items will be promoted by a celebrity! Donors and sponsors will also get an invite to the GFAC Recording Party in LA at blackbird.house in April. 

The auction will take place online in May with an expected audience of 750,000. Additionally, donors will be promoted through Girls For A Change digital channels and press contacts.
