The Mary Kay Foundation is awarding $3 million in grants to 150 domestic violence shelters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Each shelter will receive a $20,000 unrestricted grant to maintain critical services and programs for individuals who are survivors of domestic abuse.

“The Mary Kay Foundation is proud to support local shelters that are on the front lines of helping the thousands of women and children who seek shelter and support from abuse…the Foundation grants are a signature program for us and represent just one of the ways we are committed to breaking the cycle of domestic violence,” said Anne Crews, vice president, Government Relations, Mary Kay Inc. and board member for The Mary Kay Foundation.
