On February 23, 2022, TMH celebrated the 135th anniversary of our Charter from Congress to “provide a temporary home for young women coming to and being in the District of Columbia, who shall, from any cause be in want of and willing to accept temporary home, care and assistance.” To ensure that TMH is here for generations of young women to come, we invite and encourage our alumnae, families, DC and Capitol Hill partners, vendors and friends to support TMH financially. To pay it forward so that we can continue to offer the unique TMH experience to women for decades to come.

Since 2017, 1,866 young women from all over the United States and the world called Thompson-Markward Hall their “home away from home.” They shared thousands of meals, streamed dozens of videos, studied for their college and graduate classes and prepared for certification exams. They started new jobs, interned on Capitol Hill and in dozens of agencies, binge-watched TV shows together, talked into the wee-hours of the night and made lifelong friends.

Each year we receive dozens of notes from young women like Hannah who say, “TMH made my internship experience. I loved getting to meet so many wonderful young women and knowing I had a safe, lovely place to stay.” As a nonprofit, we provide them with their housing and meals within a caring community in the safe and convenient Capitol Hill neighborhood at a very affordable price. We want to be able to keep the cost affordable for them while ensuring high quality and great customer care.

We believe that our historic building and grounds TMH is core to the TMH experience – a place that blends an inspiring, rich heritage with modern convenience and innovation.

But, a 92 year-old building requires a great deal of care and attention just to keep up. And, we want to do more than keep up because each of our young women deserves a truly memorable TMH experience. We are already moving forward with much-needed building renovations.

To keep the room & board rates reasonable while delivering great customer care, we need your financial support. We ask you to please support our Annual Campaign or Restoration Fund with your generous gift. The Board, the residents thank you in advance!
