If we told you there was a (free-n-easy) 30-second option to help fund a domestic violence hotline, would you help?

Each month, different organizations compete for a $100,000 donation to help further their cause.

For more than 27 years, the National Domestic Violence Hotline has answered the call – over 6.5 million calls, chats, and texts to date – for those affected by relationship abuse. They provide crisis support and hope for a life free from violence.
