Zero Hero Sponsor

Our sustaining givers and major gift donors are what keep our dream of a Kentucky free from violence alive. Your gift as a Zero Hero Sponsor goes to support our anti-violence work and create futures free from violence for survivors of intimate partner violence and their children. Provided are some of the ways your gift can create a positive outcome for survivors of domestic violence and their children.

Flex Funds for Survivors Transitioning into Safe Housing. With rental and utility deposits as well as moving expenses, the task of transitioning from an emergency domestic violence shelter is costly. While many funding sources help cover some expenses, there are many other expenses that are not, including basic daily living items.

Whether it’s pots and pans for preparing meals, cleaning products for maintaining a healthy living environment, or mattresses and linens for a restful night’s sleep, these essential daily living items are fundamental to creating a safe and happy home. Your donation can go to support the needs of survivors of intimate partner violence, including the purchase of Welcome Home kits, which contain these essential daily living items.

Activism and Advocacy for Survivors in Kentucky. Through our 40+ years of expertise serving hundreds of thousands of intimate partner violence survivors and their families, we know that survivors are directly affected by public policies and cultural attitudes that can either help or hinder their journey toward healing and wholeness.

ZeroV works with community leaders, legislators, public health officials, and other partners to advocate for policies that clear the way for survivors and their families to stay safe, to heal, and — ultimately — to thrive. Your donation can go to support the dignity and worth of survivors through advocacy and activism in our Kentucky statehouses, communities, and beyond.

Special Projects & Events. Our work is built by unifying the hearts and minds of our communities, to pursue a future for Kentucky where violence is ZERO. Through our special projects that focus on survivor empowerment and our major events that cultivate community awareness, we are creating a Commonwealth that's safe for everybody.

ZeroV hosts offers a variety of events and manages special projects, such as Shop & Share, our Annual Conference for Ending Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence, our mini summits, and more, which help shift the narrative about we serve and support survivors in Kentucky. Your gift can go to support meaningful change for survivors and our communities through our special projects and events.
