RESPOND is grateful to have loyal donors and new friends help raise the funds needed to continue providing life saving services each day, all year long.  RESPOND relies on foundations, corporations, government funding and individuals to help make sure that support is available 24 hours a day for those who need it most. Every contribution, from $1 to $100,000 makes a difference.   

 


How Your Donation Makes a Difference


Your generosity allows RESPOND to provide hope, safety and survival to thousands of individuals each year.  When survivors of domestic violence come to RESPOND, they often arrive with nothing—having left behind medications, school supplies, clothing and pets. RESPOND is able to provide them with vital necessities as well as a warm bed, blankets and a safe place to call home. Your donation helps to ensure that—even during the most difficult economic times—RESPOND can continue to provide survivors with emergency housing and core, life-saving support services including individual counseling, children services, safety planning and support groups at the moment they most need it.
