Give a Gift
Donate
Your one-time or reoccurring contribution to Beacon of Life will help us expand programming, update facilities and maintain community partnerships for our residents. Because of your generosity, we can create an environment that empowers women in crisis to achieve positive long-term change.
Endowment Fund
Your large gift can ensure that the Beacon of Life will maintain its presence in central Iowa for years to come by contributing to our endowment fund through the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines.
Event Sponsorship
By sponsoring our annual Quiz Bowl (spring) or Cake Gala (fall), you can invest in our community, receive free tickets and other perks, AND gain exposure for your business with an audience that will appreciate your generosity.

- rolls of quarters
