"People experiencing intimate partner violence sometimes don't call the hotline because they are afraid to talk out loud. Our new crisis chat feature can help more survivors find shelter and safety, but only if they know about it. This grant fills a critical need by funding marketing and awareness for crisis chat."

“Nine years ago, we received a Community Foundation for Kettering grant to help purchase xylophones, which have been played by hundreds of students in creative and exciting ways!
