Voices Against Violence...A Campaign for a Safer Tomorrow
Letter to Our Friends | How You Can Help
Dear Friends:
NOVA needs your help. Our Voices Against Violence Campaign is our first-ever, major fundraising initiative to seek the capital, program and endowment resources required to continue our role as the voice for victims of crime in Bucks County. With a new home in Central Bucks, this campaign is about permanency and a place where crime victims can safely come for comfort and help, now and in the future. It is about critical new and expanded educational programs and client services that support our youth and keep them safe. It is about reaching out to those who are isolated or vulnerable, ensuring access to justice.
As the only comprehensive crime victim services agency in Bucks County, we are justifiably proud that our programs have been recognized nationally as well as among our statewide peers. However, sustaining these quality services is costly. With decreases in government grants and the uncertainty of such funding in the future, we must raise critical funds now. We have set a fiscally sound and attainable goal of $1.9 million.
We look to you, our partners, friends, and supporters, to demonstrate your commitment to our mission and our work. Let us hear your Voice by contributing to this very special and important campaign. Your support is our promise to the residents of Bucks County that NOVA will be here to serve them and will work tirelessly to build a future where all of us can be safe at home, in school and in our communities.
