https://www.anchorfund.org The Anchor Fund makes individual grants to women and their children. These grants can determine whether a survivor escapes her abuser, gains safe haven or can provide for her children. We do not work directly with survivors. All of the women we help are referred to us by other domestic violence organizations in the D.C. metropolitan area, and are therefore vetted by a lawyer, social worker, or client advocate. Together, with our partners we assess the clients' needs and the best way to meet them.
