How I Give Back
Giving time, efforts, and donations to organizations that support others is important to me. I volunteer my time, talents and monetary donations to these organizations so they may better support their recipients.

TYTW is a secular organization that works with some of the most difficult-to-reach, vulnerable girls in the world Too Young to Wed's mission is to empower girls and end child marriage globally.
We envision a world where:
-
Every girl can decide for herself, if, when and to whom she will marry;
-
Girls are free to be children and teens, with access to gender-specific healthcare and all levels of education;
-
All girls are free to determine the course of their own lives..

NMFA is the voice of military families because, for more than 50 years, we have proven that we stand with all military families. Our Association is the “go to” source for Administration Officials, Members of Congress, and key decision makers when they want to understand the issues facing our families. They know we have “boots on the ground” with military families and understand better than anyone that “military families serve, too.” Through the support and programs we provide, and our respected voice on Capitol Hill and with the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, our Association always looks out for the families who serve.
