Allstate Foundations Project "Purple Purse" Pass it on!



Domestic violence affects one in four women in their lifetime — that's more women than breast cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer combined. Still, more than one-third of us have never discussed the issue.

Knowing that domestic violence can be a hard subject to talk about, Purplepurse.com was created to get people talking. The site has everything you need to start the conversation and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

That's why The Allstate Foundation is taking action. With the expertise that comes from being the corporate foundation of a financial services company, our Domestic Violence Program helps provide both supporters and the survivors themselves with the financial knowledge, skills and resources they need to help get safe, stay safe and thrive.

How does it work?

Every time a purple purse is registered here through the end of October, The Allstate Foundation will donate $5 to YWCA. We'll keep donating until we reach our goal of giving $350,000 to YWCA for programs aimed to help domestic violence survivors and stopping the cycle of abuse. Don’t have a Purple Purse Code? Easy fix, You can get a Virtual Code right off the Purple Purse website here!

Domestic violence affects one in four women in their lifetime and happens more than 145 times each hour in the U.S. That's why we hope you'll continue to "pass it on" and keep having life-changing conversations about this important cause. By sharing the purses and spreading the word, we can keep the momentum going and help end domestic violence.
