Connections for Abused Women and their Children (CAWC) is a Chicago-based nonprofit focused on ending domestic violence. It employs a self-help, empowerment approach and provides a shelter, counseling, advocacy, and a 24-hour crisis line for those affected. The organization runs four programs designed to support women and their children: a residential shelter with crisis services and safety planning; community outreach for those who have left or are considering leaving; hospital-based crisis intervention at John Stroger Hospital; and domestic violence services integrated with a treatment program for concurrent addictions. These services address immediate safety while fostering long-term empowerment through advocacy and referrals. CAWC serves victims of domestic violence in the Chicago metropolitan area, offering crisis intervention, safety planning, and legal advocacy as part of its broader mission for social change through collaboration and education. The organization is a small to mid-sized nonprofit, and in 2021 it introduced a corporate gift match search functionality to help donors navigate matching gifts.
