A Path to Safety and Resilience
Nationally, one in three women and one in seven men are victims of some form of domestic violence, which means that in the Albuquerque metro area, approximately 80,000 women and 30,000 men are victims of domestic violence each year.
More than 5,900 people sought services at FAC last year. Victims need a wide array of supports, like shelter, food and clothing, physical safety, physical and mental health attention, advocacy and legal support, and ultimately opportunities for sustainable, positive change. FAC mitigates the effects of domestic violence and strengthens the path to resiliency.
We are grateful for the partners who offer their services as the FAC including the Albuquerque Police Department and the following agencies: Domestic Violence Resource Center, NM Children, Youth & Families Department, NM Legal Aid, NM Rape Crisis Center, Para Los Niños, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners.
Thank to to the FSL!
Franklin Wilson, founder of the Foundation for Sustainable Living, became a supporter of the Family Advocacy Center (FAC) in 2018 with a $500 donation to purchase peanut butter for the food pantry. His interest in FAC’s mission to provide victims of domestic violence with services to address and overcome the trauma of their experience continued to grow over the years. In 2024, Franklin established an endowment of $75,000 to support FAC’s mission in perpetuity.
Inspired by Franklin’s generosity, UWNCNM’s Guys Give Donor Group added a gift of $10,000 to the new endowment, bringing the total to $85,000! Franklin’s and Guys Give’s foresight will allow the FAC to provide its crucial, free confidential services in perpetuity.
