GFWC Signature Project: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Fund

Improve the lives of domestic violence survivors around the country by making an investment in their future with a donation to the GFWC Signature Project: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Fund. Monies from the fund will allow GFWC to award at least eight domestic violence survivors with $1,000 scholarships in June 2012, giving them hope for a better tomorrow.

The GFWC Success for Survivor’s Scholarship was created through GFWC’s commitment to our Signature Project: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention, to change the lives of survivors as they take the next step in reshaping their future in a positive way through higher education. For nearly half a century, GFWC has fought to eliminate domestic violence, and the establishment of the GFWC Signature Project: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Fund is one way GFWC will move towards achieving that goal.

The GFWC Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Fund is fully supported by donations from GFWC members, partners, and friends.
