The national Moving Ahead Financial Empowerment Grant
Program is a competitive grant that supports innovative programs at
state domestic violence coalitions to respond to the economic needs
of survivors as they partner with local service providers. In
partnership with National Network to End Domestic Violence
(NNEDV), the Allstate Foundation's Moving Ahead Financial
Empowerment Grant Program provides state coalitions and their local
programs the opportunity to develop new projects or enhance
existing projects that address the economic needs and challenges
that survivors face. While there are many types of programs that
can build a survivor's financial empowerment, this grant
program funds projects in four areas: financial literacy (using
some or all of Allstate's Moving Ahead through Financial
Management curriculum); microloans and Individual Development
Accounts; job readiness and job training; and microenterprise.
In 2010, the Foundation awarded $650,000 to state domestic
violence coalitions through grants ranging from $50,000 to $100,000
to continue or develop best practices in economic justice for
domestic violence survivors.
