About UsPRESENT NOW was founded by social entrepreneurs and philanthropists Melanie Neumann and Erica Fisher. Moved by the stories of children who witness domestic violence, they wanted to help families heal and regain a sense of normalcy by delivering joy and love through personalized gifts.
Our hope is that one day there will not be a need for our services. But until then, our dedicated board and staff are determined to rally for the invisible victims - the children - one present at a time. |
Get InvolvedThere are many ways to support PRESENT NOW's mission! We rely on volunteers in the LA area to help curate over 2,000 presents every year in our Santa Monica offices. There are also opportunities for third-party events, corporate and event sponsorships, and to shop and support us through our Brands We Love program.

Programs & PartnersWomen and children often leave all of their possessions when they transition into a domestic violence shelter. This is the driving force behind PRESENT NOW's Presents Program.
The Program surprises each child with three presents per year--one on Valentine's Day, on Back to School Day, and on their birthday. Since its inception, PRESENT NOW has delivered 8,750 presents through the Presents Program, impacting 5,000 families in 44 shelters in California, Texas, Nevada, Alaska, and New York. |
