Partnership Fund for Victims of Hate/Violence

What the Fund Does

Since 1987, the Partnership Fund provides partial compensation for property damage to victims of racial, ethnic, religion, sexual orientation and disability based hate/violence. Acts of prejudice and hate are traumatic for both the targeted individuals and the community as a whole. The Partnership Fund's goals are to demonstrate community support for the victims and ease the financial consequences of such violence. A comprehensive program of monitoring, community education, law enforcement, and victim assistance, the Partnership Fund for Victims of Hate/Violence serves as a model for communities elsewhere. The Partnership Fund is a sub-committee of the Committee on Hate/Violence.

  • the property was damaged by a hate/violence act committed because of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or disability;
