It covers education, training and job-related expenses including: books and supplies for school, job skills training, certification fees, tuition, registration fees requirements for jobs such as uniforms, childcare, public transportation, and fees for computer access. In 2007 alone, the Education and Job Training Fund provided $297,864 to support survivors. To date, more than $45,000 has been donated by The Allstate Foundation because caring individuals like you have ‘clicked’ to empower survivors of domestic violence!
