With this goal, Bea started the IMPACT program in 2007 with nothing but the offer from friends of meeting space, a fax machine and a copier. When participants, excited about the changes they were making, wanted to help other group members pay their fees, an idea bloomed- why not start a nonprofit, so that those who do want to help can make tax deductible donations? The nonprofit, now called IMPACT+, began offering need-based fee reductions. IMPACT is now the flagship program, with Bea at the helm.

We expect to soon be working with interns from Winthrop University. These interns are the backbone of the program; they not only assist in the planning and running of groups and representing the agency in court, they also help put a face to the agency at community awareness events. They take information back to their schools, where they often become involved with on-campus awareness events about dating and sexual violence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55198ccfe4b027cd337dbfeb/1726807781015-GC49QKC73E0EKPMTLQDB/no-image.png Volunteers Gallery - JEREE CURRENT - VOLUNTEER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55198ccfe4b027cd337dbfeb/1743443448097-I6N1916Z74WK559UAGY1/shanara_mercer1.jpeg Volunteers Gallery - SHANARA MERCER - VOLUNTEER https://impactdv.org/volunteers-gallery-text daily 0.75 2024-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55198ccfe4b027cd337dbfeb/1726808332691-6EK0CMKAYUDXEXM2KVXP/no-image.png Volunteers Gallery - Text - Our Volunteers IMPACT is also fortunate to have volunteers.
