Thank you for your interest in partnering with The Exodus Project.
Each month The Exodus Project Emergency Financial Assistance Program partners with national and local community domestic violence organizations to identify homeless victims and their children to provide critical emergency financial assistance to bridge the gap between bondage and freedom.
The Exodus Project Emergency grants are made exclusively through local domestic violence agencies including shelters and Community Organizations that (must) provide in-person support services for victims of domestic abuse.
The local domestic violence agency is the primary point of contact and liaison between the individual and The Exodus Project. The Exodus Project does not provide victim support services provided by the local domestic violence agency including emergency hotline, legal aid, emergency housing, or case management services.
The focus and mission of The Exodus Project Emergency assistance program is to make emergency funds available to homeless victims and their children to assist with permanent housing, housing related expenses and, services that support a victim’s long-term stability. At this time, for victim safety and security reasons, as well as for verification purposes, The Exodus Project Emergency assistance program does not accept requests for grants directly from individuals, anonymous requests, email requests or requests from individuals on behalf of another individual, or provide grant funding to individuals who are not working with a local, verified domestic violence shelter or community organization serving victims of intimate partner abuse.
An victim’s housing status and long-term needs assessment must be verified by the local domestic violence organization, and the emergency funding request must be submitted by the local domestic violence organization on behalf of the victim, along with a permanent housing plan. Funding is available up to $5,000 for an individual and $7,500 for an individual with minor children.
Nearly 50% of homeless women in the US are victims of domestic violence, and in a single day, as many as 31,000 individuals have fled an abusive relationship in a single day. The Exodus Project Emergency assistance program is 100% donor funded and each month our program allocates 94% of donor contributions to the emergency assistance program. We receive over 3,000 requests for emergency assistance each month, emergency assistance is provided based on funds availability, on a first come first serve basis, and with priority given to victims with minor children.
The Exodus Project grant funding adheres to strict compliance standards. The Exodus Project cannot accept grant requests directly from individuals or unknown, anonymous sources.
Grant requests can only be submitted to The Exodus Project by a verified local Domestic Violence Agency/Community Organization (“Exodus Partner”) in the US/Canada that provides uninterrupted in-person support and services for victims of domestic abuse.
The maximum grant amount for an individual is $5,000, and $7,500 for a parent with children. Grant funds can be applied towards critical needs to secure permanent housing and permanent housing related expenses including but not limited to:
