Becky Lee Women's Support Fund (Becky’s Fund) was founded in November 2006 by Becky Lee, an advocate and attorney for battered women's rights. In working with small non-profits over the last 8 years, Ms. Lee had seen how often the problem of insufficient funding hurt the chances for domestic violence organizations to provide continuous support for battered women. After seeing the lack of support for small domestic violence organizations, she decided to create an organization to help both battered women and other organizations that fight domestic violence continue the work they were doing on behalf of these battered women.
Located in Washington D.C., in an office donated by the law firm of Harris, Wiltshire, and Grannis, Becky’s Fund began with a small goal to give support to those small domestic violence organizations working to serve battered women in marginalized and immigrant communities. However, after speaking at conferences and meeting so many people who expressed an interest in finding ways to help the non-profit in ending domestic violence, Becky’s Fund decided to expand its mission.
The mission of Becky’s Fund is fourfold:
1) Foster awareness: help people understand the elements of domestic violence through education, such as how prevalent it is, why battered victims can’t always leave easily, and what can be done to fight against domestic violence,
2) Encourage advocacy: encourage people to care about ending domestic violence,
3) Promote activism: take an active role in helping battered victims find safety through counseling, education and legal representation, and
4) Create support: provide financial assistance for the support of victims of domestic violence.
