…$12,000 for the SAFE Fund. [Read about the SAFE Fund in the Daily Report.] Donors were asked to give in increments of $40, and will be receiving exclusive AVLF branded gear for their contributions. The SAFE Fund is an opportunity reserve fund (or “rainy day fund”) to ensure the long term stability of AVLF’s programs. An anonymous donor has agreed to match the first $500,000 of donations – provided that AVLF can raise the money by September 2019. T…

More than 1,000 lawyers and other friends of the Foundation celebrate lawyers’ commitment to pro bono service with a party that features exceptional wines and great food. This event is SOLD…
…to generous funding from Partners for HOME and from the Spark Opportunity Donor Circle, we have provided direct financial help to Atlanta tenants in times of crisis. And thanks to funding from the State of Georgia’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, we were able to provide the same assurances of safety and stability to survivors of intimate partner abuse. Whether it’s keeping the lights on, buying health and safety supplies, or preventing ho…
…a continuum of care for homeless services – and from the Spark Opportunity Donor Circle Community Assistance Grant, we recently launched our Client Assistance Program. The program is coordinated by Client Assistance Manager Sonya Humphries. Through this funding, our teams are able to mobilize assistance when our clients are in an emergency. In just a few short months, the program is already stabilizing families in the communities we serve. Here ar…
…you. The person reading our newsletter. The attorney who takes a case. The donor who writes us a check. (If I’m really lucky, you’re all three of those things – but I’m grateful for you no matter what your connection is to AVLF.) You get to hear from me all the time – even if you don’t know it’s actually me. Now I’d like to hear from you. How are we doing? Are we giving you the support you need? Are there any stories in particular you’d like to he…
…any grants? And could we also raise $500,000 to be matched by an anonymous donor, creating our first-ever reserve fund? What was I thinking? But I knew it was worth the challenge: each and every dollar raised for this organization takes us a step further in our mission: to create safe and stable homes and families by inspiring the fight for equal justice. So we got to work. As I write this, you have contributed $1,060,614 to the 2019 Annual Campai…
…ur staff members have received awards of service and excellence, and we’ve spotlighted some of our amazing volunteers. We’ve even been in the news…a lot. And as of June 27th, we’ve raised $369,698 for our first ever annual giving campaign – with an additional $136,900 pledged. $369,698 is an incredible accomplishment. Some of the most generous members of our community have made this progress possible. We’re halfway through the year, and there is s…
…tic Violence Project and the GAL program, however, we – volunteers, staff, donors – have the distinct privilege of playing a pivotal role at turning point in the life of the vulnerable. As I look back over 2014, I would like to acknowledge the loss of a client to the violence we battle daily. I also look back and see hundreds of lives that are now safer and more secure because they knew us. I look forward to 2015 and envision a sea of women, men a…

…ier in the year and would like more information about becoming a recurring donor. Our work is not possible without the support of the community, and I thank you for any amount that you can give to our Annual Campaign this year. Reflecting on my first eight months as Executive Director, I realize that one of my most important tasks is a very simple one – say Thank You! So, collectively, I say thank you for caring about the work of AVLF and caring a…

Maya Angelou once said, “I’m not sure if resilience is ever achieved alone. Experience allows us to learn from example. But if we have someone who loves us – I don’t mean who indulges is, but who loves us enough to be on our side – then it’s easier to grow resilience….” Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for suppor…
