The Sarah Ferguson Foundation

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has dedicated a great deal of efforts for charitable causes. Some groups she has worked with included the Motor Neurone Disease Association, SOS Children’s Villages, and the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Sarah’s Foundation is the vehicle through which she supports all of her charities. Children in Crisis (based in London), and Chances for Children (based in New York) are a primary part of The Sarah Ferguson Foundation.

The Sarah Ferguson Foundation helps children’s charities all over the world. The charities are specifically aimed at caring for children whose dire living conditions are either neglected or simply ignored. Care and consideration is given to the cultural diversities that define the organizations that provide aid to the children.

In 1993, The Duchess of York first founded Children in Crisis which assists disadvantaged children. It also provides education and trauma counseling as well as food and medicine. It’s American counterpart, Chances for Children, was founded in 1994 and is aimed at provided help for children in America that are overlooked, neglected and abused. It also provides aid to children affected by HIV and AIDS.

A portion of the proceeds from Sarah’s Jewelry goes to the funding of these charities. The Sarah’s Moissanite collection offers a wide selection of brilliant Moissanite rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets. The pieces sell at Macy’s, Lord and Taylor, and Bielk’s.
