Supporting the AARC
Funding to support the Abused Adult Resource Center is a patchwork of
many sources: foundation grants, the United Way, state and federal programs,
profits from our Seeds of Hope gift store
and corporate and individual gifts. The AARC provides all of its services
to victims free of charge, with limitations and cuts in public funding.
Personal gifts are essential to meeting the needs!
A Circle of Hope
A Circle of Hope gathers together individuals and companies who understand
the devastation that domestic violence leaves behind. These are people
who are commited to breaking the cycle of violence, providing sanctuary
and preparing our children to live more peacful, safer lives. Joining
a Circle of Hope is an expression of your support for the women and children
devastated by domestic violence. Your membership and support endorse the
AARC's work to heal their hurt, and express your faith and hope for a
future of love without fear.
Membership in a Circle of Hope means pledging
your support over the next five years in one of the following categories:
- Healing: Recognizing your gift of $50-99
per year for the next five years.
- Opportunity: Recognizing your gift of
$100-499 per year for the next five years.
- Peace: Recognizing your gift of $500-999
per year for the next five years.
- Empowerment: Recognizing your gift of
$1,000 or more per year for the next five years.
In addition, a fifth group has been created to honor major acts of philanthropy.
The Frances Leach Society recognizes cumulative gifts to the Abused Adult
Resource Center of $100,000 or more. This group bears the name of the
late North Dakota philanthropist, whose deep belief in the promise of
ending domestic violence drew her together with AARC volunteers in establishing
this honor.
