The village she needs. The support she deserves.
Gathering Friends to Give is a Metro-Detroit-based nonprofit built around a simple principle: no woman should have to navigate a pivotal life change alone; whether she’s stepping into motherhood, switching careers, going back to school, or rebuilding from the ground up!
We're a relationship-driven village of Friends; connecting women who need support with women who have the capacity, expertise, and heart to offer it.
We offer curated “closet” events (featuring no-cost, like-new clothing donated by community members and local boutiques), access to a collective of professionals and providers offering free support and services, scholarships for college freshmen, and so much more.
What makes us different?
People don’t need “charity, they need community”.
We’re honored to offer curated events, free support, and scholarships for women who can use it as a stepping stone, and eventually pay it forward themselves... because that’s how support becomes a village.
Curated care that understands your needs.
Every connection, gifted shopping event, and scholarship we offer is hand-vetted for quality, and tailored to the needs of the amazing women we serve.
Local impact, long-term connection.
We're a hands-on, community-based operation here to inspire a cycle of heart-led giving, and giving back between women… and gathering Friends. ;)

Become a Care Collective Professional
We’re seeking wellness professionals, mentors, aestheticians, doulas, recruiters, consultants, financial advisors, and more interested in donating their time to the GF2G community.
We handle the matching, the vetting, and the follow-through, to help you create maximum impact with your donated time, while ensuring your capacity stays protected.
Donate
Every dollar, every gift card, and every donated item helps, and makes a powerful impact on the women in our community. Every person who gives or receives is a new member of our growing village!
