About Us

"815 Gives a Damn" is a collaborative group of philanthropic professionals merging the former "100 Men Who Give a Damn" & "815 Women With a Mission." The group is dedicated to supporting the "The Family Peace Center" - a place where victims of violence can find the help and support they need. The Family Peace Center is a community-driven, nonprofit organization that provides free and confidential services to adults and children who are recovering from domestic or sexual abuse through integrated long-term support from trained staff members while creating an environment where survivors feel comfortable coming forward, and shame is replaced with hope.
