Allstate, Purple Purse, Foundation: The Allstate Foundation’s domestic violence program (Purple Purse) works to create a society where women are financially empowered.
1 in 4 women experience domestic violence in the United States. 99% of those cases include financial abuse. It’s one of the main reasons victims are unable to leave an abusive partner or have to return to one.
Since 2005, The Allstate Foundation has been committed to ending domestic violence through financial empowerment. The Purple Purse Foundation provides survivors with the education and resources needed to achieve their potential again and equips young people with the information and confidence they need to help prevent unhealthy relationships before they start.
