Web Of Benefit

Description

• Web of Benefit assists survivors of domestic violence to become financially independent and break the intergenerational cycle of abuse by creating a step-by-step plan to reach their individual goals and rebuild their dreams. We accomplish this by awarding Self-Sufficiency Grants (SSGs) to fund the first step of this plan, with the requirement that each recipient pay it forward to three other survivors. Since our founding in 2004, Web of Benefit has awarded more than 1,515 grants to survivors of domestic violence in the Greater Boston and Chicago areas.Over the years, we have learned that recovery from domestic violence is a three step process: the first step is escaping to safety into a crisis shelter; the second step is building a level of stability in a transitional living program; the third step is attaining self-sufficiency. Web of Benefit is the third step that other agencies do not have the capacity to fund. Web of Benefits unique service model awards grants specifically designed to fund each individual's initial goals and to help her plan the life of her dreams in a step by step process.Web of Benefit and Crawford have received numerous awards over the years for the Transition to Self-Sufficiency Program. In December 2010, Crawford was awarded the Massachusetts Conference for Women's Be the Change award. In recognition of establishing over 100 partnerships to ensure the appropriate and timely delivery of services, Web of Benefit was awarded The Massachusetts Nonprofit Networks Excellence Award for collaboration in June 2011. In July 2012, Crawford was named a CNN Hero and was featured for ten days on their broadcast news programs. In 2013, Crawford was honored with the Sahn Award from the Korean American Women in Need (KAN-WIN) for her dedication to empowering Korean women in Chicago; she was also named an Encore.orgs Purpose Prize Fellow for her work empowering survivors of domestic violence during her 'encore career.'
