Some Past Grants

Faces of Hope

General Purpose Grant

Our mission is to reduce victimization with a safety net of crisis services.

We achieve this by meeting the medical, legal, safety, education, and basic needs of individuals and families in a warm and welcoming environment. Specifically, we help those affected by domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and stalking.

Our values encapsulate our vision for those that we serve: Hope, healing, justice, safety, and empowerment.

The purpose of the Center is to facilitate a coordinated community response to interpersonal violence that improves outcomes and enables victims to access all of the services they need from a single location. This requires robust partnerships with government and community-based agencies. We have 17 community partners. Co-location means our combined efforts reduce the potential that individuals and families in crisis will miss vital resources. It also reduces the number of times that they must retell their story to minimize further trauma. Ultimately, the Center fosters a heightened community vigilance that comes from partners looking for innovations through the same lens; rapid learning that comes from continuous feedback; and an immediacy of action from a unified and simultaneous response.
