Round-the-clock service, advocacy and shelter for all victims of violence

Double Your Impact!

Your gift means twice the hope!

This Give to the Max Day, every dollar you give is doubled—up to $50,000—so that survivors of domestic and sexual violence can find safety, healing, and hope. Join us in reaching our ambitious year-end goal of $150,000 and make safety possible for all. Very few foundations prioritize funding for domestic and sexual violence services—less than 2% of all U.S. philanthropy supports causes for women and girls, and even less for violence prevention and direct services.

Services include 24-hour emergency shelter, legal advocacy, support groups, housing and supportive services, youth intervention and prevention services, elder abuse services, community education, and professional training.

What is Domestic Violence?

A pattern of abusive behavior that is used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over another. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person.

What is Sexual Violence?

The use of sexual actions and words that are unwanted by and/or harmful to another person. Some of these actions are defined as crimes by Minnesota statutes. Some experiences of sexual violence are hurtful violations of personal boundaries but may not rise to the level of a crime.
