Sponsor a Project

Join our group of closest funders by sponsoring a treatment project or the expansion of our treatment networks.

Interested in a sponsorship opportunity?

We understand that choosing to sponsor a project is a highly personal decision that requires a comfortable fit between your interests and the needs of our hospitals on the ground.

Our first step will be to conduct a short meeting with you (in-person or by phone) to learn about your unique interests. We will then provide a proposal, which will highlight the best match for your generosity and our partners in the field.

To explore this option, please contact Ms. Kelly Anderson, Senior Director of Philanthropy, at kelly@fistulafoundation.org or call (408) 249-9596.

Get Involved

Even if you’re on a budget, banding together with your friends, family, and neighbors can change a woman’s life!

Step 1: Request your personal fundraising page

Celebrate your birthday or another milestone event by hosting a fundraiser. All you need is your own fundraising page and we’ll set it up for you! To request your page, please contact Sajira The at sajira@fistulafoundation.org and she’ll walk you through the quick process.

Need inspiration?

Check out these ideas and sample donation pages to build your fundraiser around:

	Dedicate a birthday, shower or anniversary: Instead of presents, ask your friends and family to make a donation in your honor.	Example: Sajira’s Birthday Fundraiser
	Are you planning to run a 5k or marathon? Keep yourself motivated by asking loved ones to make donations based on your progress.	Tim LaPage’s Clipper Round the World
	Connect your community: If your community does philanthropic work, try suggesting Fistula Foundation as a designated charity.	Example: Sajira’s Book Club Fundraiser

Please note:

These fundraising pages are intended for individual donors. If you represent a business and would like to pursue a partnership opportunity with Fistula Foundation, please contact Anne Ferguson, Deputy Director, at anne@fistulafoundation.org

Step 2 : Let people know about your fundraiser

There are a ton of creative ways you can spread the word about your fundraiser.

Fundraising Toolkit

We’ve prepared a tool kit to help get you started. It includes:

Email text to announce your fundraiser to your friends and family
Videos, infographics and posts to share on social media
A credit card donation form for people who prefer to give off-line

Event Resources

You may also want to host your own fundraising events such as recommended reading for a book club or movies you and your friends can watch. Learn more about event ideas under the Tell A Friend tab.

Obstetric fistula remains a little-known issue, even though it affects over a million women worldwide. You can help without spending a dime—just tell a friend and spread the word!

Movies to watch

Hosting a movie night is a great way to inspire friends and family to take action for suffering women. Check out these documentaries:

Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

This documentary is based on the bestselling book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn. Fistula Foundation partner Edna Adan, founder of the Edna Adan University Hospital, is featured in part 2 of this documentary.

Watch: The film can be streamed on Netflix, or through iTunes (part 1 | part 2) Copies of the full-length DVD are also available for order on Amazon.com.
Discuss: You can find conversation starters on page 2 of this Fistula Foundation discussion guide for Half the Sky.
