Support our Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals to break free from the cycle of violence and abuse. By providing a safe and supportive environment with essential services, advocacy, and holistic programs, we aim to inspire hope, promote healing, and provide the tools for individuals to shape their own futures.
Ways to Give:
One-time or Monthly Donations
Whether you give once or monthly, your donation goes a long way in putting an end to violence and abuse, making a real difference in people's lives.
General support is vital in providing us the flexibility to address both immediate needs of victims and the evolving demands of our organization. Your contributions ensure that victims receive the essential help they need in critical moments. In addition to general support, we also offer two special memorial funds to honor and remember those we have lost:
Dari Schwartz Bookamer Memorial Fund.
The Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) Program for Suffolk County was established by Dari Schwartz-Bookamer and her coworker, Emily Constant. Dari, the former chief of the Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Bureau for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, devoted her life to advocating for victims of violence and abuse. She was passionate about providing safe, professional, and trauma-informed care for victims and survivors of sexual assault. This fund was established to provide ongoing support for the SAFE program.
Meghan Kiefer Memorial Fund
On October 23, 2021 Meghan’s life was tragically cut short by domestic violence. Her mother, Bevin, has become a strong voice in our agency and beyond, advocating for greater protections for victims of domestic violence. Donations to this fund go specifically to help victims of domestic violence. Bevin sat down recently with the NYS Office of Prevention of Domestic Violence to share Meghan’s story. We urge you to watch this powerful video.
