Grants will also provide opportunities for people living in poverty to access the tools, skills, connections and other resources they need to begin to change their situation over the long term.

This two-pronged approach addressing immediate needs during a time of crisis and providing opportunities to achieve long-term economic stability is part of a deep tradition at the Otto Bremer Foundation, William H. Our goal is to enable organizations to provide the intensive services and staff time needed to make a difference.

Meer referred to the grant given to Friends Against Abuse as generous, and said the money will be put towards creating a community response to domestic violence that coordinates all the community resources, holds offenders accountable and stops these senseless crimes.

She continued that the organization has a strong relationship and history with the Otto Bremer Foundation.

Much of our success is directly tied to OBF, she noted.
