Mary Kay Foundation: Domestic Violence Shelter Grant Program

The mission of  The Mary Kay Foundation is two-fold:

• Eliminating cancers affecting women by supporting top medical scientists who are searching for a cure for breast, uterine, cervical and ovarian cancers.
• Ending the epidemic of domestic violence by providing grants to women’s shelters and supporting community outreach programs.

Each year, the Foundation awards a grant to at least one domestic violence shelter in every state. Any remaining funds are distributed based on state population.

Eligibility: Applicants providing emergency shelter (immediate overnight housing) to survivors of domestic violence.

Amount: $20,000 per award.
