Annual Partnership Program
The Women’s Crisis & Family Outreach Center has developed an Annual Partnership Program: Commitment, Compassion & Change for corporations and businesses in our community. This partnership supports our organization’s client service programs through annual financial contributions. Along with the commitment to these services, the business will receive recognition through our fundraising and community outreach events as well as our bi-annual newsletter and annual report.
Last year, the WCFOC provided direct services to more than 9,000 women, men and children and served another 6,000 individuals through trainings and seminars on issues surrounding domestic violence. Services include our 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter, therapy, legal advocacy, and community outreach including a violence prevention initiative to at-risk students within the Douglas County School System. The WCFOC also supplies food, clothing and other daily essentials for living to clients in need. Eighty-five percent of our annual income goes to provide these critical services.
Annually, U.S. businesses spend over $5.1 billion due to loss of employee productivity, medical and mental health care costs for their employees, and absenteeism. By supporting the WCFOC through an annual partnership, businesses are a part of the solution to the devastation that domestic violence has on families and our society as a whole. |

Capital Campaign
Through an ongoing Capital Campaign, the Women’s Crisis & Family Outreach Center is working to address the escalating needs of domestic violence victims in this region. Once completed, our new 26-bed facility will ensure that we can better meet the needs of more women and children seeking a safe and therapeutic place from which to start the journey towards healing and self-sufficiency.
The alarming trends and devastating consequences of domestic violence in our community speak directly to the need for a larger shelter and expanded programs to support victims.
• In the United States, a woman is beaten by her partner every 12 sec.
• 95% of boys and 72% of girls witnessing domestic violence will carry abuse into their adult relationships.

We have recently received a grant from the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation. Please visit www.marykayfoundation.org for more information.
The Mary Kay Foundation was created in 1996 and since its inception has made significant annual commitments focused on ending domestic violence and mitigating its devastating effects. Its founder, Mary Kay Ash, believed strongly in giving back to the community, particularly in ways that enrich women's lives.
Recent data collected for Mary Kay's Truth About Abuse Survey of 600 domestic violence shelters in the US, directly connects a major reason for the increase in dv to the downturn in the economy.
Three out of four domestic violence shelters report an increase in women seeking assistance from abuse since September 2008, a major turning point in the US economy.
Domestic violence shelters report they have observed an increase in requests for assistance from dv victims because of the following three reasons: 1. Seventy-three percent attribute the rise in abuse to "financial issues", 2. "Stress" 61 %, 3. "Job loss" 49% |
