Financial Independence for Survivors of Domestic Violence

The New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women received a new economic empowerment grant from The Allstate Foundation‘s Economics Against Abuse program.

“People often think of the physical bruises associated with domestic violence, but the financial devastation that results from an abusive relationship can also be especially crippling,” said Jennifer Kuhn, Program Manager with The Allstate Foundation. “Our goal is to work with advocates through statewide and local initiatives, to help survivors build financial skills which are critical during these financially turbulent times.”

The Allstate Foundation’s Economics Against Abuse program has provided more than $12 million in funding to national and state domestic violence organizations since its launch in 2005.
