Breaking Cycles of Abuse.
Building Financial Freedom.
Domestic violence and human trafficking traps victims in cycles of control. Financial abuse keeps them there.
We help build bridges to safety and independence.
Our Mission
Our Mission: End Financial Abuse
We partner with credit unions and women’s shelters to equip survivors with the tools, mindful guidance, and empowerment to cut the strings of control.
Mission
To provide pathways to safety, financial empowerment, and long-term resilience for individuals affected by domestic violence through collaborative partnerships, education, and survivor-focused programs.
Vision
A future free from the cycles of abuse, where every survivor has access to the resources, support, and opportunities needed to reclaim their independence and thrive.
How We Achieve It
We help connect survivors with critical resources and economic paths to independence...through your credit union. Empowering institutions like yours to become financial lighthouses, providing security, dignity, and hope.
The Problem
Domestic Violence
The NNEDV reports domestic violence as a “Public Health Crisis” with 10,000,000 reported incidents annually. 1 in 3 women are affected.
Human Trafficking
Over 1,000,000 victims are currently bound to the sex and labor trade in the U.S., with $38B earned from forced labor.
Financial Abuse
99% of victims experience financial abuse. Without financial security, escape is more difficult and dangerous.
