March is Women's History Month! |
|
|
|
As Women's History Month comes to a close, we want to acknowledge the role that women have played in the movement against gender-based violence, and in the formation of Project Safeguard. We would not be where we are today if not for the courage and determination of women who worked to ensure that survivors have access to the protections available through the civil legal system. |
|
In 1981, a small group of women attorneys in the Denver area began meeting to discuss the inadequate enforcement of domestic violence laws they were witnessing. Through partnerships with shelter workers, therapists, and judges, they formed the Colorado Coalition for Justice for Abused Women (CCJAW) and began working to change laws, policies, and protocols for responding to domestic violence. In 1984, the coalition incorporated as a 501(c)(3) and became known as Project Safeguard (PSG).
Over the years, we have broadened the scope of our work to include all forms of gender-based violence and we have expanded our services. We are grateful to the women who saw a need in their community and took action to do something about it. Learn more about our herstory.

Here are a few ways you can support Project Safeguard all year long |
|
Many nonprofits rely heavily on year-end giving from individual donors, which is why you get bombarded with emails asking you to give in November and December.
For some people, making a smaller monthly donation is more budget-friendly, and helps provide sustainable funding for nonprofits.
|
|
Many workplaces have programs that allow employees to give to a charity directly out of their paycheck and some employers will even match donations! If you have made or are planning to make a donation, ask your employer if they will match it.
