The Mary Kay Ash Foundation is celebrating its 30th anniversary while continuing its mission to protect women and support survivors of domestic violence. The Foundation has also completed 21 years as the Presenting Sponsor of the Conference on Crimes Against Women (CCAW). This long-term partnership reflects its commitment to improving safety, expanding awareness, and strengthening services for women across the United States.
The Conference on Crimes Against Women is one of the nation’s leading events focused on preventing gender-based violence. It brings together law enforcement officers, prosecutors, healthcare professionals, victim advocates, and social service organizations. Through expert-led sessions and practical training, attendees gain valuable knowledge to improve investigations, support survivors, and strengthen community response systems.
The latest CCAW conference attracted more than 2,400 attendees from all 50 U.S. states and several countries. Participants attended 280 educational workshops led by 270 industry experts, covering topics such as survivor support, legal practices, and emerging technologies. In addition, 80 scholarships helped professionals access training they might not otherwise have received.
Since its establishment in 1996, the Mary Kay Ash Foundation has donated more than $100 million to domestic violence prevention programs, survivor assistance initiatives, and cancer research. The Foundation focuses on supporting organizations and projects that deliver measurable results while improving access to safety, justice, and recovery for women and families.
The Foundation believes that lasting change comes through education, collaboration, and community support. Its continued partnership with CCAW helps professionals work together more effectively while improving resources for survivors. By investing in prevention, training, and awareness, the Mary Kay Ash Foundation continues to play an important role in creating safer communities and empowering women across the country.
