Make a difference every month and help save the lives of Survivors escaping domestic violence.

When requests come in from Victim Advocates, Prosecutor Offices and Crisis Response teams for assistance, Control Alt Delete helps people escape domestic violence. We provide one time assistance at the most critical and dangerous time of need, when Survivors are fleeing. 20% of all requests for assistance are high lethality risk escapes meaning there is a likelihood that if the Survivor doesn’t escape right then the abuser may kill them.  That is the reality for domestic violence Survivors and  you can help!

Your support ensures that Control Alt Delete, a 100% volunteer run grassroots nonprofit can continue to help Survivors escape domestic violence.
