The grant funding will enable Firefly to provide a more comprehensive offering of services to survivors of domestic violence to better meet the needs of the community by supporting survivors as they break free from partner violence, navigate challenges, and address the trauma they have experienced.<\/p>\n<p>During the next three years, this special operating support grant will allow Firefly to impact the lives of 2,500 survivors each year. Our focus will be on proactively addressing gaps in services in underserved communities, making the community more aware of the help that is available and expanding service offerings geographically. Every person deserves safety and respect, and the programs offered by our Survivor Services team are designed to help survivors achieve those.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/fireflyin.org\/cnh\/\">Firefly Children and Family Alliance<\/a> is thrilled to be chosen to receive this grant to support the growth of our <a href=\"https:\/\/fireflyin.org\/cnh\/programs-services\/recovery\/domestic-violence-services\/\">domestic violence programs<\/a>,\u201d said Tina Cloer, President and CEO of Firefly. \u201cFirefly is among just a few providers that go into the community to meet survivors where they are, which we will be able to expand due to the generosity of Lilly Endowment.
