The Hotline Needs Your Help

Each day, more than 600 families call the National Domestic Violence Hotline to escape from family violence. What will they do if the phone is not answered?

For 11 years, the Hotline has been a lifeline between families in crisis and safety, and this month, the 2 millionth call for help was answered by Hotline advocates.Now, more than ever, we need your help to continue our efforts on behalf of these women, children and men.

The current economic uncertainties facing our country, along with recent natural disasters, are putting a strain on American families. We know that when families are under duress, incidences of abuse increase and calls to the Hotline rise accordingly.

The same issues impacting families across the country have decreased the size of private gifts from corporations and foundations, forcing us to make budget cuts at precisely the time when our services are most desperately needed. Private funding provides approximately 35% of the Hotline budget.

Increased demand and decreased funding is not a good formula for families in need. Please make a donation today. Your gift could save a life.
