How much do the cards cost?
We request a donation of $25 per card (e-cards or print). We hope that instead of thinking of this as a transactional purchase of $25 Mother’s Day cards, you’ll consider it a gift to the domestic violence survivors who will be impacted by your donation, and an investment in JWI’s work to help abuse survivors obtain long-term economic security and education.
Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes, your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
I’m having trouble placing my order; who can I contact?
We’re here to help! Please email [email protected] and someone will be in touch shortly.
Can I order e-cards now but still have them delivered on Mother’s Day?
Of course! Upon checkout, you can select a date for delivery. (Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11th, 2025.) They will be sent in the morning of whichever day you choose.
Can I order blank paper cards to give to family and friends on my own?
Yes - click here and select your desired amount.
I don’t really need cards; can I simply make a gift to support this project?
You can - and thank you! Click here to make a tax deductible gift to JWI’s Mother’s Day Project.
I created an account on JWI’s e-card platform when I ordered cards in the past. Can I re-use that information?
If your account is saved in our card platform, you should be able to quickly re-order cards by following these steps:
Enter your account information

Wasn’t this project previously called the Mother’s Day Flower Project? What happened to the “flowers”?
In the past, JWI used a portion of proceeds from this project to send floral bouquets to shelters across the country on Mother’s Day. This year, we’ve decided that survivors and their families will be better served, longer-term, if we use all proceeds to support our goal of completing 100 fully-furnished new libraries in shelters across the country, while continuing to restock the shelves as each child leaves the shelter with a favorite book in hand, ready to start a new life.
