  • Annual giving is a fancy way to say that we solicit donations and gifts year-round to do impactful work. While we will have topic-specific campaigns, like our Valentine’s Day fundraiser to grow our Legal Name Change Fund, unrestricted gifts made through the Harriet’s Heroes Annual Giving Program help sustain and enhance all facets of the Harriet Hancock Center and the work we do.
