STEP INTO HER STORY
Your gift helps women in recovery go from pain to purpose, from surviving to truly living.
Your gift will transform lives- that is priceless.
Every woman referred to OpenDoor has a story—one marked by trauma, addiction, incarceration, trafficking, homelessness, and isolation.
For too many, this remains her story—day after day, week after week. Forever.
But when someone like you steps in, everything changes.
At OpenDoor Women’s Recovery Alliance, we surround each woman with a circle of steady support—four to six trained volunteers who walk beside her through the hard, hopeful work of rebuilding her life.
It’s friendship, advocacy, and unwavering love—all wrapped into one.
Your gift—whether one-time or monthly—helps her write a new chapter.
Because no woman should walk the road to recovery alone.
A monthly gift of $50 provides trauma therapy and the ongoing support each woman needs to heal, reunite with her children, and rediscover her worth.
When 17 people give $50 each month, together you sponsor one family for an entire year—offering the stability and community that make lasting transformation possible.
You’re not just changing one life—
you’re rewriting an entire family’s story.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Will I get a tax receipt?
Yes. OpenDoor is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law, and you will receive a receipt for your records.
Do you publish your financials or an annual report?
Yes. Transparency is a core value. We share our financials and a summary of impact in our annual report, which is available upon request and will soon be published on our website.
Do you have a diverse and sustainable funding model?
Yes. We intentionally cultivate a diverse funding stream that includes grants, monthly donors, faith-based and corporate partnerships, and special event fundraising. This approach helps ensure we are not overly dependent on any one source and allows us to remain focused on mission over money.
How do you evaluate your programs and measure success?
We evaluate success by tracking both quantitative and qualitative outcomes—including housing stability, sobriety milestones, employment, family reunification, and relational support. Additionally, we gather feedback from participants, volunteers, and partner organizations to continuously improve.
How do you collaborate with other organizations in the space?
OpenDoor is built on partnership. We collaborate with courts, treatment centers, probation officers, peer support specialists, faith communities, and organizations like Freedom Recovery, Maryhaven, and Mommies Matter. These collaborations ensure wraparound support and continuity of care for each woman we serve.
How will my donation make a difference?
Your donation helps us provide the kind of consistent, caring, and practical support that women need after treatment or incarceration. From transportation to court, assistance with job interviews, or just having someone show up each week—your gift ensures that no woman walks alone.
What impact have you had so far? Can you share measurable results or success stories?
Since our founding, we’ve walked alongside dozens of women rebuilding their lives. Many have secured housing, reunited with children, obtained jobs, and maintained long-term sobriety. Amanda, referred through the court’s diversion program, said: “I don’t know where I’d be without OpenDoor. I want to stay friends forever.” We are currently collecting formal data to publish in our next impact report.
