Funding for RESPOND, Inc Programs and Service

Every day, domestic violence affects families, friends, colleagues, workplaces, neighborhoods and communities. And every day for over 35 years, RESPOND's doors have remained open--day and night, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year--to survivors of domestic violence seeking safety and support.

RESPOND is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and relies on generous contributions from individual donors, private foundations, government agencies, corporations and community, civic and religious groups. RESPOND does not receive any United Way funds.
