Center for Domestic Peace has received a grant from the Survivor Resiliency Fund, created by American technology executive and philanthropist Sheryl Sandberg through
the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence. This funding will provide direct financial assistance to survivors who face immigration-related barriers and are excluded from traditional safety-net support, helping them overcome obstacles to safety and stability.
“This grant is a vital step toward ensuring that some of the most vulnerable members of our community receive the support they need,” said Tara
Peterson, executive director
of Center for Domestic Peace. “We are deeply grateful to the California Partnership and Sheryl Sandberg for recognizing the urgent needs of survivors who face heightened risks and fewer options for help.”
According to the Center for Domestic Peace, the federal climate generates increased fear and uncertainty for individuals with unresolved or vulnerable immigration situations, so many survivors feel less safe seeking help. Limited eligibility for public benefits mean that survivors facing immigration- related barriers often cannot access housing assistance,
financial support or legal protections available to others.
As a result, emergency financial assistance becomes lifesaving, allowing survivors to secure temporary housing, transportation, food and other essentials without jeopardizing their safety.
The Survivor Resiliency Fund provides emergency financial support to survivors of domestic violence. Backed by philanthropists Sandberg and Tom Bernthal, the fund partners with organizations across California to strengthen survivor safety and resilience.
