Question 12

Can businesses or organizations sponsor the scholarship?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We welcome business sponsorships and partnerships. If your business wants to support women’s self-care, please reach out at hello@brandymillsconsulting.com.

Question 13

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Accepted Answer

At this time, Woman Strong is not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means donations to the Woman Strong Self Care Scholarship are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions under IRS guidelines.

However, that doesn’t make your gift any less impactful. Your donation goes directly toward supporting real women who are prioritizing their well-being...many for the first time.

While contributions can’t be claimed as tax deductions, you may still be able to categorize your donation as a sponsorship, marketing expense, or community goodwill initiative. We recommend consulting with your accountant or tax professional to determine if and how your support can be recognized as a business expense.

If you're a business interested in sponsoring the fund, we’re happy to:
 • Acknowledge your sponsorship on our website or social media
 • Include your logo in promotional materials
 • Offer shoutouts during events or fundraisers

These benefits may make your sponsorship eligible as a marketing or advertising deduction depending on your situation.

Question 14

Who can I contact for more information?

Accepted Answer
