Building a New Digital Home for Asylee Women Enterprise

At Crowd For Causes, we take pride in working with organizations that make a real difference in their communities. One such nonprofit we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with is Asylee Women Enterprise (AWE), a Baltimore-based organization dedicated to helping asylum seekers and forced migrants rebuild their lives in the United States.

A History of Compassion and Support

AWE was founded in 2011 when Catholic Sisters from eight Catholic communities and AWE founder, Molly Corbett, came together to provide housing and community to women seeking asylum in Baltimore. While AWE maintains close relationships with these founding communities, it is a secular organization that welcomes forced migrants of all genders.


Over the past decade, AWE has provided critical support to thousands of vulnerable immigrants from around the world, distributing over four million dollars in financial and material assistance. Their work continues to be a lifeline for many who arrive in the U.S. with little to no resources.

How AWE Helps the Community

AWE provides a range of services designed to meet the immediate and long-term needs of asylum seekers and forced migrants:


  • Safe Housing – Providing temporary shelter and assistance in securing stable living conditions.
  • Education & Language Support – Offering English classes, job training, and life skills programs to empower individuals.
  • Employment Assistance – Helping participants secure stable jobs through workforce development initiatives.
  • Community Integration – Creating a welcoming environment where asylum seekers can connect, heal, and grow.
  • Legal & Health Resources – Connecting individuals to legal aid and healthcare providers to support their well-being.
  • Financial and Material Assistance – Distributing essential funds, food, and supplies to help individuals get back on their feet.

Leadership Team

AWE’s impact is made possible by a dedicated team of leaders who are committed to advocating for and supporting forced migrants:


Board of Directors:

  • Rose Kurtz – Board President
  • Sr. Sharon Wall – Secretary
  • Rebecca Oldham – Vice President
  • John Wisniewski – Treasurer

A Website that Reflects Their Impact

AWE’s website (www.asyleewomen.org) serves as a crucial tool for raising awareness, attracting volunteers, and securing donations. Some key features include:


  • Easy-to-Navigate Donation Page – Encouraging supporters to contribute financially to their cause.
  • Volunteer & Partnership Information – Offering clear pathways for individuals and organizations to get involved.
  • Success Stories – Showcasing the real-life impact of their work through testimonials and narratives.
  • Educational Resources – Providing information on asylum laws, migration issues, and ways to advocate for change.

By Alex Schupp • March 9, 2026
For many nonprofits, volunteers are the backbone of their mission. They help run programs, support events, connect with the community, and expand the organization’s impact. But recruiting and organizing volunteers can be a challenge, especially for small teams with limited time and resources. That’s where social media can play a powerful role. At Crowd for Causes, we work with nonprofits that want to turn their online audiences into real-world supporters. With the right strategy, social media can help organizations not only recruit volunteers but also build long-term relationships with people who care deeply about their mission. Here are a few ways nonprofits can use social media to find and activate volunteers.

5 Thoughtful Ways to Promote Your Nonprofit Online

By Alex Schupp • February 19, 2026
Promoting a nonprofit online can feel overwhelming, especially when time and resources are limited. Many mission-driven organizations are focused first and foremost on serving their communities, which often leaves digital strategy as an afterthought. However, in today’s environment, a strong online presence is not about self-promotion. It is about visibility, accessibility, and connection. When people can easily find and understand your mission, they are more likely to support it. Here are five practical and sustainable ways to strengthen your nonprofit’s presence online.

Storytelling Is Your Most Powerful Fundraising Tool

By Alex Schupp • February 19, 2026
Nonprofits exist because something in the world needs care, attention, and action. Behind every organization is a story. A story about people served, challenges faced, and hope sustained. In a digital world, your website becomes one of the primary places that story is told. Storytelling is not about marketing language or polished messaging. It is about clarity. It is about helping someone understand why your work matters and how they can be part of it. When done well, storytelling builds connection long before someone chooses to donate.

Digital Marketing for Religious Organizations: Strengthening Connection in a Digital World

By Alex Schupp • February 17, 2026
Religious organizations operate with a clear mission, strong community ties, and often limited internal resources. While the mission remains constant, the way communities engage has shifted significantly. Today, your website is often the first interaction someone has with your organization, before they attend a service, volunteer, or make a donation. A strong digital presence is no longer optional. It is a foundational tool that supports communication, engagement, and long-term sustainability.

Storytelling has always been at the heart of nonprofit work.
