NEWS AWARDED $20,000 TO PREVENT & ADDRESS...
“Today, the advocacy and services that NEWS provides are more important than ever. As we face an uncertain political and social environment that threatens the wellbeing vulnerable families, women, and individuals experiencing domestic violence – as well as the organizations that support them - we need leaders like NEWSto be there to continue helping those who struggle most,” said Lucia Corral Peña, senior program officer at Blue Shield of California Foundation. “We stand together with NEWS, alongside many other partners and leaders, in our ongoing and collective mission to prevent, address - and ultimately end – domestic violence in California.”
This type of unrestricted funding is part of the Foundation’s effort to empower domestic violence service providers across the state and enable them to adjust to unexpected difficulties and opportunities.
As California’s largest private funder of domestic violence service providers, the Foundation is proud to support NEWS through this grant.
