Your Gift Creates Freedom
Every donation directly impacts a woman's journey from trafficking to independence
Bring & Sustain Freedom
Your gift fuels a proven pathway from exploitation to independence. By supporting Aruna’s Four Pillars of Holistic Care, you provide the stability survivors need to reclaim their dignity and build a future of their own choosing. Your support restores the power of choice for women like Reshma, Fathima, and Pooja, ensuring their freedom is sustained for generations to come.
100% of your donation is reinvested into the Aruna Freedom Process to free, employ, and empower more women and their children.
Please mail checks to: 316 W 4th Street 3rd floor, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
More Ways To Give
Donor Advised Funds
To give through a Donor Advised Fund, simply instruct your DAF to make a grant to Aruna EIN #47-1266446 (see address below, if needed).
Stock Gifts
Giving appreciated stock and mutual funds can be one of the most tax-advantaged ways to accelerate the freedom process.
By gifting shares directly (rather than selling) to Aruna, investors can avoid capital gains on the appreciated stock or mutual funds and deduct the full fair market value as a charitable contribution.
For donors looking to rebalance their portfolios or manage concentrated positions, donating shares of highly appreciated securities provides a tax-smart way to bring the portfolio back into alignment with target allocations.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are 70 ½ years or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Aruna and avoid paying taxes on the distribution.
Qualified Charitable Distributions are distributions sent directly from your IRA to charities such as Aruna and count toward your RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) if you are 73 or older. The annual limit for 2025 is $108,000.
To make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Aruna, direct the custodian of your IRA to send a check made payable to "Aruna Project" at the following address:
Aruna Project
316 W 4th Street, 3rd floor,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
Estate Planning
To leave a legacy of liberty and impact, you can donate to Aruna through a bequest in your will or living trust, or by listing Aruna as a beneficiary of your IRA or life insurance policy.
For wills and trusts, the amount you intend to donate can be expressed as a specific dollar value or a percentage of your estate. For IRAs and life insurance policies, the amount you intend to donate can be expressed as a percentage of the IRA account or insurance policy proceeds.
