As a tax-exempt organization, CAWC relies on contributions to make a difference in the lives of survivors and their children. Every donation brings us that much closer to our mission of ending domestic violence.
The CAWC Associate Board is a great way for young professionals to get involved within an incredible non-profit and give back to the Chicago community. If your interested in getting involved please reach out to Brittany Yelnick at brittyelnick@gmail.com
