Ten percent of ILLUMINE's annual profits are donated to non-profit organizations that support women and children in need, including:

• Tahirih Justice Center - enables women and girls who face gender-based violence to access justice.





• Washington Area Women's Foundation - to foster a powerful wave of philanthropy to improve the lives of all women and girls in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
