The IF Project

The IF Project If there was something someone could have said or done that would have changed the path that led you

The IF Project is a collaboration of currently- and formerly-incarcerated adults, community partners, and law enforcement focused on holistic intervention and the reduction and prevention of incarceration and recidivism. Our work is inspired by and built upon people sharing their personal life experiences around incarceration. Since 2008, The IF Project has collected thousands responses to the “IF


question,” and the answers have inspired a full array of prevention, intervention, and
awareness programs and a full-length feature documentary film. We offer intensive writing workshops, personal reentry preparation (PREP) courses, health and wellness classes, and mentorship opportunities to currently-incarcerated women to help them reflect on their lives, reconcile with their pasts, and create plans for their futures. Upon release, IF stands by our members with specialized case management to provide individualized support as they search for jobs or go back to school, find housing and transportation, seek out behavioral healthcare, and reunite with their families. Most of all, IF gives the emotional support and encouragement our participants need to keep going, even when things are difficult. The deep personal relationships we have with our members and our concern for their human rights continually push us to advocate for them in the community and at every level of government.

Today is Mother’s Day.

Today, we honor mothers in all their strength, complexity, and resilience—including those rebuilding their lives after incarceration.

At The IF Project, we see mothers doing the hard, courageous work of healing from trauma, reconnecting with their children, and creating new paths forward. We see women choosing growth, accountability, and hope, every single day.

We also know this journey cannot happen alone.

This Mother’s Day, you can stand with a mother who is working to rebuild her life and her family.

Your support provides safe spaces to heal, tools to navigate trauma, and a community that believes in her future.

Make a gift today in honor of a mother in your life, and in support of a mother working toward a second chance.

What if one question could change a life?

At The IF Project, that question is simple:
“If there was something that someone could have said or done to change the path that led you here, what would it have been?”

Through storytelling, mentorship, and community connection, The IF Project brings together currently and formerly incarcerated individuals, law enforcement, and community partners to break cycles of incarceration and create new futures.

This work is about healing, empathy, and giving people the tools to rewrite their story. From expressive writing programs inside prisons to reentry support and community education, The IF Project is transforming lives and strengthening communities right here in Washington.

This GiveBIG, you can be part of that transformation.

Your support helps:

Amplify voices too often unheard
Provide critical reentry and wellness programs
Prevent future incarceration through education and connection
Together, we can build a future without mass incarceration.

Give today. Change a story. Change a life.

This Mother’s Day, meet Monica.

After incarceration, she faced overwhelming barriers—trauma, isolation, and uncertainty about her future. But through The IF Project, she found support, healing, and a community that believed in her.

Today, Monica has:

• Secured stable housing
• Reconnected with her family
• Begun building a new future

Stories like Monica’s are possible because of donor support.

When you give, you’re not just supporting a program, you’re helping a mother reclaim her life.

Make a Mother’s Day gift today and help more women like Monica find their way forward.
