In widowhood, there are three categories of support: military, civilian, and international. After researching all U.S. nonprofits serving widows on Candid and GuideStar, it's evident that there is a hierarchy when it comes to where the money travels.
Military widows, who make up the smallest percentage of U.S. widows, receive the most resources.
International widows, spread across many different countries, also receive U.S. support.
Unfortunately, civilian widows, who make up the largest percentage of U.S. #widows, receive the least amount of funding despite needing the most resources.
These are the myths vs. realities of widow support and advocacy. It's clear that until this funding gap is addressed by foundations and funders, the divide between widows and support will remain significant. Let's work together to ensure that all widows, regardless of their category, receive the resources they need during this difficult time.
Modern Widows Club operates on a foundation of evidence-based programs and services that have demonstrated significant and successful outcomes, leading to meaningful social impact. These initiatives are specially designed to cater to the needs of widows, offering support that is not only effective but also cost-efficient. Through these programs, Modern Widows Club is able to extend its reach to a greater number of women, ensuring that each individual receives the highest quality of support and assistance.
When compared to other causes focused on women, such as efforts to serve survivors of #domesticviolence and #humantrafficking, Modern Widows Club's approach stands out for its lower operational costs and higher program efficacy. This strategic focus ensures that resources are utilized in the most impactful way, thereby maximizing the positive change it brings to the lives of widows and, by extension, the broader community.
In fact, the global neglect of widow survivors make them more susceptible to domestic violence in new relationships and their daughters, a high target vulnerable for human trafficking. All symptoms of not caring for widows well.
One million dollars spent on #widowsupport impacts 1000x more women and their families than any other female cause, because widow support is the largest women's cause worldwide with 300 million widows caring for 600 million fatherless children.
