The first day I came to counseling, they told me I was not alone. Now I really believe it. We need people like you. People who make a difference.

Invest in a Change.
We can’t fulfill our vision of a community free of domestic violence and sexual assault on our own. Your generosity and support are critical – and your gift to HAWC can truly transform a life.
Annual and Financial Reports
As a non-profit organization, we share our financials, so you can have confidence in how we are using gifts from our generous donors and supporters. We publish an annual impact report, audited financial statements and our federal tax returns each year.
The Houston Area Women’s Center Annual Impact Report highlights achievements and contributions of staff, volunteers, supporters and donors helping provide advocacy, counseling, shelter and resources to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It also provides key financial and statistical data.
