Happy New Year!
In 2024, UMOM is celebrating 60 years of exceptional service to our community since our inception in 1964.
As we commemorate our Diamond Anniversary, we take immense pride in the legacy we’ve created. We couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of our amazing donors and supporters. Thanks to you, we've been able to help tens of thousands of families and single women rebuild their lives and regain hope. We remain committed to our mission of ending family homelessness and are grateful for the continued support of our community partners.
2023 Arizona Tax Credit
Your gift to UMOM helps families get into shelter, and ultimately back on the path to a life of stability.
There is still time to make a real difference to those in need.
Right now, over 300 families are waiting for emergency shelter. That means hundreds of kids in our community are sleeping in cars or motels, on couches, or — in the most severe cases — on the street.
Your contribution today (that’s right, it’s not too late!) can still make an impact. Receive a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $421 single and $841 filing married for your 2023 taxes.
We are bringing back our annual family fundraiser at the Phoenix Zoo, with a twist. This year, DJ Crisco Kidd will keep the energy high, and attendees can participate in a variety of block party and carnival-style activities, with special appearances and prizes to be won. Help us celebrate our 60th anniversary by raising $60* and bring your colleagues and loved ones along for a memorable day of fun at the Phoenix Zoo! Join us: Saturday, May 11, 2024
*You do not need to attend the event to join in the fundraising
Sponsorship Opportunity
UMOM's signature gala event, The Diamond Celebration, is coming in September of 2024. It will be a night filled with reflection on our legacy along with a glimpse into what the future holds. Expect to indulge in delicious food and drinks, hear inspiring UMOM success stories, and participate in our live auction hosted by the one and only "Auctiontainer" Letitia Frye.
Sponsorships for this event are now available!
We are still seeking event sponsorship and donations to help get families off the waitlist and into housing. Volunteer opportunities will also be posted closer to the event.
