Host a Fundraiser

Turn your birthday, anniversary, or cocktail party into a benefit!! When you host a party or a special event, ask your guests to make a donation to Amenawon Foundation or to your favorite Amenawon Foundation program instead of bringing gifts. In addition to being tax deductible, each gift will be recognized and each donor will be thanked. Not sure how to organize this? We'll help!

Monthly Giving

Monthly donors provide gifts of all sizes to the Amenawon Foundation to sustain all of our programs. This reliable, consistent giving provides an even and predictable flow of resources, and a convenient opportunity for those who prefer to provide support in even and predictable amounts.

You can have your tax deductible donation charged to your credit card or directly transferred from your accounts to Amenawon Foundation. It’s convenient and easy to join!

For more information or to become a monthly donor contact Ino Okoawo, at 617.417.3734 or email iokoawo@amenawon.org.


Tribute/Memorial Giving

Throughout our lives we have experiences that we want to celebrate or honor in some meaningful way. Many of our donors choose to make charitable donations in honor of such significant occasions: weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, or memorial services.

When you make a tribute gift (by notifying Amenawon Foundation that you are making the gift), a special card will be sent to the person(s) you wish to honor or remember, indicating that you have remembered them in this special way. This card is in addition to the usual tax letter that you will also receive.

Donating School Supplies

There is an extreme need for school supplies in Edo State. Most families can barely afford school fees, much less buy their children basic school materials such as pencils, pens, and rulers. Amenawon Foundation collects school supplies for numerous primary and secondary schools throughout Uwessan, Edo State, Nigeria.


Amenawon Foundation accepts donations of the most needed supplies:


  1. BulletPens and pencils

  2. BulletColored pencils

  3. BulletCrayons

  4. BulletMarkers

  5. BulletPencil sharpeners

  6. BulletRulers

  7. BulletErasers

  8. BulletScissors

  9. BulletSolar-powered calculators

  10. BulletBook bags

  11. BulletChalk

  12. BulletLaptop Computers


Unfortunately, Amenawon Foundation asks that you not send us paper, notebooks, or textbooks, as they are generally too heavy and expensive to ship to schools in Uwessan.


If you have school supplies to send to Amenawon Foundation, we ask that you make an inventory sheet to go with the shipped supplies that generically lists the supplies being shipped….100 pens, 25 calculators, etc. Then, please remove all the school supplies from its packaging and place the supplies in zip lock bags before shipping them to us. That will save shipping weight and the associated expense for you and for Amenawon Foundation. Bagging each type of supply separately will also be enormously helpful…all pens in their own bags, colored pencils all together, etc.


When you’re ready to ship your school supplies to us, please contact us at info@amenawon.org so we can help you find the best shipping alternative if you have more than one box of supplies. Otherwise, please ship your supplies to:


Amenawon Foundation

PO Box 91682

Washington, DC 20090

          

The Amenawon Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Donations are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Our EIN or tax ID number is 26-1375976.
