The Mary Kay Ash Foundation recently awarded grants totaling $100,000 to four North Texas domestic violence shelters.
"Denton County is one of the fastest growing counties in Texas … and Denton County Friends of the Family serves as the sole provider of free, comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in the area. 2022 marked a record 10% increase in crisis line calls and texts; and a 20% increase in clients sheltered and in the number of shelter days.
"Domestic violence continues to represent a quarter of all crime reported in Collin and Dallas counties. The funding from the Mary Kay Ash Foundation will provide for the most critical needs of victims of family violence. Our partnership with the Mary Kay Ash Foundation will change lives by helping to equip individuals and families with the tools needed to recover from trauma and establish lives free from abuse. This translates to safer families and healthier communities.
Since 2000, 2,700 organizations advocating for eradicating gender-based violence have received grants from the Mary Kay Ash Foundation. To help break the cycle of abuse, the foundation has awarded more than $56 million to shelters, programs and services.
Since 1996, the Mary Kay Ash Foundation has contributed more than $92 million to organizations aligned with its two-fold mission. In addition, the foundation supports awareness initiatives, community outreach programs, and advocates for legislation to ensure women are healthy and safe. Together, we can make the world better for women.
