Donations and Wish List

Support SAVE

Intimate Partner Violence is a community health issue that we all have a responsibility to address. When we work to end IPV, we are building safer communities and promoting mental, physical, and emotional wellness among our neighbors and ourselves. SAVE takes a prevention-and intervention-based approach to create a future free from abuse, but we can’t do it alone. Take a look at our Annual Report to see the impact you and your donation can make!

When you donate to SAVE, you support individuals and families who are seeking safety, healing, and resources.

Your investment will have an impact:

$50 feeds a family at our shelter three healthy meals

$100 completes complex Temporary Restraining Order forms for a survivor

$250 teaches 72 teenagers about the warning signs of abuse as well as healthy relationship traits

$500 answers calls to our crisis line for 24 hours

$1,000 opens the doors to our three weekly support groups for one month

Donate at Work

Employee Giving Campaign – If you work for a company that offers an employee giving campaign or participates in a United Way campaign, we encourage you to select SAVE as the designated agency. If SAVE is not included in your company’s giving campaign, please ask your Human Relations department to include SAVE.

Corporate Matching Gifts – Many employers have a matching gifts program in which they will match employees’ donations to charitable organizations such as SAVE. These matches are often dollar for dollar, which then doubles your donation. Some companies will also make a donation when you volunteer your time. Check with your Human Relations department to see if your company offers either of these programs.
