SUPPORT STAGE WIVES

Behind every tour, there’s a woman holding down home—and she shouldn’t have to do it alone.

Stage Wives is a private support network for women whose husbands work in the touring music industry. These women are often navigating parenting, isolation, and everyday challenges—quietly, faithfully, and with very little outside help.

Our mission is to offer them the help they deserve.
But we can’t do it without you.

WHAT WE DO

We provide a safe, private space—online and in person—for Stage Wives to:

  • Connect with one another

  • Access mental health and family resources

  • Receive curated support during stressful seasons (like childbirth, solo parenting, or grief)

  • Attend gatherings that provide community and encouragement

 

All access is carefully managed by our leadership team to ensure privacy, safety, and intentional care. Outside individuals do not contact or serve our members directly—Stage Wives facilitates and protects all outreach.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Your financial support allows us to:

  • Provide counseling and childcare stipends

  • Coordinate vetted helpers for our members

  • Host local meetups and retreats

  • Fund practical relief like meal deliveries or emergency help

 

We currently accept financial support through Venmo @stagewives connected to Stage Wives LLC.


At this time, donations are not tax-deductible—but every dollar directly fuels care and connection for the women behind the scenes. We are working on getting together a board and applying for non-profit 501c3 status for The Off Stage Foundation.

LOOKING TO PARTNER?

If you're a church, nonprofit, or business that would like to partner with Stage Wives, we’d love to talk.
We’re currently exploring aligned collaborations for:

  • Resource sharing (counseling, childcare, spiritual growth)

  • Event sponsorships

  • Retreat planning and venue partnerships

  • Donor-funded care initiatives
