We are thrilled to announce that Younity has been selected as a 2024 Bank of America Neighborhood Builder, a prestigious recognition that comes with a $200,000 grant over two years and leadership development opportunities for our team. This honor underscores Younity’s vital role in providing safety, advocacy, and healing for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in New Jersey.
Through the Neighborhood Builders program, Bank of America supports high-impact nonprofits that drive economic resilience and create safer, stronger communities. This investment will enable Younity to expand its reach, enhance its services, and strategically plan for long-term impact, ensuring survivors receive the comprehensive support they need.
The grant will support leadership development, strengthening our ability to navigate change, build a forward-thinking culture, and expand fundraising efforts. It will also sustain critical services for survivors, including Younity’s 24/7 Safe House, crisis hotlines, counseling, and court advocacy, which impact over 11,000 individuals annually. Additionally, it will help scale fundraising efforts to offset declining government funding, ensuring the long-term stability of these essential programs.
By investing in Younity’s future, this grant strengthens our ability to break cycles of violence, stabilize families, and empower survivors—particularly in underserved communities like Trenton, NJ. We are deeply grateful to Bank of America for this opportunity and to our supporters who help make our mission possible.
