The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence recognizes the urgent need to generate additional financial support for local domestic violence programs who are responding to the needs of survivors and their families in the face of COVID-19. To support these efforts, we have developed a #1Thing fundraising campaign that local programs can utilize and adapt to invite community support at this critical time. 

The resources below were developed to assist local programs with fundraising needs in connection with COVID-19. The images are downloadable by right clicking and saving to your desktop. Sample social media posts are provided to accompany the images.

 

To begin the journey of healing, hope, restoration and meaningful connection in our communities, NRCDV offers a compilation of resources in Redefining WE: Building Beloved Communities During COVID-19 that respond to themes that have emerged from recent COVID-19 technical assistance requests and conversations with advocates and preventionists. We also have compiled a list of resources on Preventing & Managing the Spread of COVID-19 Within Domestic Violence Shelters.
