Thanks and Recognition

Each year we must fundraise over $700,000 dollars to maintain the programs and services we are committed to providing our community.

We would like to extend warm and gracious thanks to the thousands of individuals, businesses, services groups, foundations and funders who give to us so generously.

In addition to your donations, you give of your time, talents and resources to help make a difference in women’s and children’s lives. You volunteer thousands of hours, you participate in our events, you talk about the work that we do and you help raise awareness about the impact of violence on people we care about in our community and the resources available to them. It is with immense gratitude that we thank you for joining in our commitment and sharing in our vision of ending violence against women and children. Together, we are creating hopeful futures.

How we Raise and Spend Our Money

We could not do this work without the generous support of our funders and donors. Our commitment to you is that we make every dollar count by providing a wide range of programs and services for the women and children who come to the Victoria Women’s Transition House, taking that first brave step towards a live free of abuse. If we can answer any questions about how your donations are used, please do not hesitate to contact our Development Office at 250-592-2927 ext 210.
