Description
This grant opportunity from the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation is designed to support nonprofit organizations that deliver direct legal services to survivors of relationship abuse and sexual violence. The foundation emphasizes funding for programs that provide holistic legal support—such as protection order assistance, representation in related legal matters (child custody, immigration, housing), and advocacy—while adhering to best practices that ensure the safety and wellbeing of survivors. The foundation values approaches that incorporate intersectionality, cultural and linguistic accessibility, perpetrator accountability, and strong partnerships with community-based victim services. Preference is given to organizations led by women and gender-expansive individuals of color and those with gender-equitable personnel policies. Programs must not serve perpetrators and must have robust screening and safety protocols in place.
