Partnerships
Each year The Allstate Foundation funds over $3 million in
grants and programming to support economic empowerment for
survivors and to help end domestic violence. In addition to smaller
grants to local nonprofits across the country, The Allstate
Foundation has established programs and partnerships with the
leaders in the domestic violence movement. Here are just a few of
our partners:
