IAEE WLF Social Giving Project

SOCIAL GIVING PROJECT – GET INVOLVED!

Year after year, the women of IAEE continue to come together as a community with a commonly shared goal to give back to the local communities in or near our event city.

For 2025, we reached for the stars to support House of Ruth. WLF attendees came together, along with our industry, to support their focus of eliminating houselessness and domestic violence in the Washington DC region.

WLF attendees and industry peers gathered 250 toiletry items overall and donated $5,423 to help the House of Ruth community!

Their continuum of services includes:

Housing Services through 12 service-enriched housing programs

Child and Family Development Center at Kidspace

Counseling Services available at no-cost to anyone residing in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia, regardless of gender, who has experienced domestic violence.

All services are delivered through a trauma-informed care model, and where they recognize the individualized needs of each participant served. The programs empower women to build safe, independent, and sustainable lives and serve more than 1,000 individuals annually, and have served more than 15,000 individuals since opening their doors in 1976.

Join us in supporting this community that is not only trying to alleviate houselessness but also striving to give survivors of domestic violence the empowerment and dignity that they deserve!
