Funders Help Combat Domestic Violence

Knott Foundation, Hoffberger Foundation, Linehan Family Foundation, Wright Family Foundation, Charles Crane Family Foundation, Zanvyl & Isabelle Krieger Fund, United Way of Central Maryland, and Verizon Maryland joined with the House Of Ruth to cast a bright light on this shameful and secret behavior.
