The work of ANSWER directly improves the lives of women and their families through guidance and education, and we are so proud to join them in that effort."

Individual Donors

"I’m interested in helping children get started on the right path. The mother runs the family. If we can help fund a mother’s education, the mom will provide that example to her child of why education is important. Giving was a no-brainer for me. The ANSWER Scholarship works for what I want. ANSWER is my answer."
~ Jim Brinson, retired CPA, who has named ANSWER Scholarship as a beneficiary in his estate plan

“I agree with ANSWER‘s philosophy that if you educate a parent, you educate a child. Education builds self-confidence, self-discipline and self-worth. It builds everyone a better future. That, really, is the mission of the ANSWER Scholarship.”
~ Patricia Mason Spencer

“I admire the fact that Susan Andersen saw a need and, on her own, decided to take steps to meet that need by setting up ANSWER. It proves that one person can indeed make a difference. It’s my joy to be able to contribute to this important work. I also like the idea of women helping women, and that’s what ANSWER is doing.”
