Description: For 35 years, PADV, the largest nonprofit domestic violence organization in Georgia, has provided professional, compassionate, and empowering support to battered women and their children in metro Atlanta.

PADV began as an all-volunteer agency in 1975 and incorporated in 1977. Today, the agency has more than 40 full- and part-time staff with an administrative office and two 24-hour emergency shelters in Fulton and Gwinnett counties.

PADV works to end domestic violence by:

- offering safety and shelter for battered women and their children;

- restoring power, self-sufficiency and control to domestic violence survivors; and

- educating the public on the dynamics of domestic violence.

Target demographics: Women and children in the Metro Atlanta and outlying areas

Direct beneficiaries per year: 32,000

Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: Serve as a crisis line volunteer helping women get connected with PADV services and finding them a safe place to stay.

Mission:

PADV works to end the crime of intimate partner violence and empower its survivors.

Results:

PADV is embarking on a capital campaign to increase our capacity in both Fulton and Gwinnett counties. We will be able to serve at least 30% more women and children each year when we complete the campaign.
