The Allstate Foundation Domestic Violence Program is creating a national effort to raise public awareness and change societal attitudes about domestic abuse. Examples include:

The Allstate Foundation Education and Job Training Fund

The Education and Job Training Assistance Fund was established by The Allstate Foundation Domestic Violence Program to channel small grants to adult domestic violence survivors to help them achieve their educational and professional goals. This fund enables domestic violence survivors to pursue long-term financial security by providing much needed assistance to address barriers often not covered within traditional financial aid resources. It covers education, training and job-related expenses including:

  • Books and supplies for school
  • Job skills training
  • Certification fees
  • Tuition
  • Registration fees
  • Requirements for jobs, such as uniforms
  • Child care
  • Public transportation
  • Fees for computer access
 

National Poll

The Allstate Foundation’s National Poll on Domestic Violence gauges public awareness of the issue and reveals how Americans view domestic violence. Read executive summary ( in .pdf format Adobe PDF ).

The Allstate Foundation is working with the National Network to End Domestic Violence Fund to develop and implement this initiative. NNEDV and its membership of domestic violence coalitions assists The Allstate Foundation in effecting social change, while providing valuable grassroots support to local service providers.

A national Advisory Board provides The Allstate Foundation with strategic oversight and guidance on the Domestic Violence Program.
