Small Steps 4 Hannah Foundation

Giving Philosophy

The foundation approaches giving by supporting organizations already providing 'wrap-around services' to victims of domestic and family violence, alongside delivering their own direct educational programs. Their theory of change emphasizes education, awareness, and community empowerment, aiming to inspire courage, love, empathy, and determination in young people and professionals to address and prevent DFV.
