FinAbility

Mission

FinAbility empowers survivors of domestic abuse to build stronger finances and safer futures.

Bottom Line for Portland

Your gift creates financial pathways for families to permanently break free from the cycle of abuse.

1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in Portland experience domestic abuse, trapping families in multi-generational cycles of violence and poverty.

Here’s what survivors say your generosity has made possible:

🏠 “I’m not on the streets now.”
💰 “It created vital funds that allowed me to respond to emergencies.”
💼 “It’s given me a foothold back into the workforce.”

Quote

"The garden of my future is sprouting and starting to bloom." 

"I would never think I would become this strong, sharp, and capable."

"My credit score improved 20 points in two months. I am building my credit, and with it my confidence to leave abuse behind."

Incentives

Your impact goes 3X further this season! 

All gifts of $100 or more will be tripled by our Board of Directors (up to $6,000 in matching funds). That means your gift of $100 becomes $300 to support survivors on their path to financial security.
