GIVING TUESDAY:

Empower Women. Change Generations.

This Giving Tuesday, you have the opportunity to help us reach the finish line on some of the most transformational work we’ve ever done — from our nearly funded Capital Campaign to launching scholarships at the 117 Training Institute.

Your gift today fuels dignified employment, education, leadership development, and long-term stability for women and families in Korah. Every dollar creates ripple effects for generations.

100% of your donation goes directly back into the mission. All gifts are tax-deductible.

Below are the Giving Tuesday categories you can support:

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN — Projected Finish: April 2026

We’re almost there. Your Giving Tuesday gift helps us complete the final phase of our new Carry 117 compound — a space that will expand our workshop, increase training capacity, and provide stability for decades to come.
This building is more than walls. It’s opportunity, safety, and future.
Give today and help us finish strong.


117 TRAINING INSTITUTE SCHOLARSHIP (New)

This Giving Tuesday, you can help launch a woman into a sustainable future.
Scholarships fund professional training in sewing, leather crafting, business development, leadership, and entrepreneurship — giving women the tools to build long-term careers that change their families forever.
Give a scholarship. Change a story.


Tools & Training Supplies

As we expand training through the 117 Training Institute, we need additional sewing machines, cutting boards, scissors, thread, needles, and leather tools. Your Giving Tuesday gift keeps classrooms equipped, workshops running, and women learning hands-on skills that lead to long-term employment.

Equip the next generation of artisans and entrepreneurs.

ARTISAN EMPLOYMENT & HOLISTIC SUPPORT

One of the most powerful ways to give is to support dignified work.
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps provide wages, safe working conditions, leadership development, trauma-informed care, and the holistic support that allows artisans to thrive both inside and outside the workshop.
Empower women through sustainable employment.

MEDICAL FUND

Health challenges can stop a woman from working and providing for her family.
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps cover critical medical needs — from scans and treatments to specialist care — offering safety and relief for artisans and their families.
Give hope. Give healing.

OUTREACH FUND

Your generosity allows us to care for the wider Korah community — offering support, meals, and resources for families facing crisis or hardship.
Stand with our community today.


EMERGENCY FUND

Life is unpredictable, but your Giving Tuesday support ensures we can respond immediately to urgent needs — equipment failures, material shortages, or unforeseen challenges.
Help us stay ready when needs arise.

IN HONOR OF CHARLIE KUMPF

Charlie was woven into the heart of Carry 117 — from building furniture to serving at events to pouring himself into this community.
Giving in his honor continues the work he loved and carries his legacy forward with purpose.
Honor Charlie. Continue his impact.

Why Give Today?

Giving Tuesday is a global movement — but at Carry 117, it fuels local transformation with lifelong impact.

  • Women stepping into dignified employment

  • Children receiving education

  • Families experiencing long-term stability

  • The future home of Carry 117

  • The launch of the 117 Training Institute

When you give today, you change generations.
