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:
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

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.
