Support Sunrise

Join us and our community in our quest to eliminate violence from our lives, our neighbors, and our families. Help fund Sunrise of Pasco, Inc. to ensure that domestic violence survivors always have a safe place to go and advocates to help them create lasting changes in their lives.

Approximately 1 in 3 of women and 1 in 5 men will be affected by domestic violence during their lifetimes. It takes caring people like you to fund agencies like Sunrise so that the next person who calls our 24-hour hotline has access to an advocate in the court system, a support group to help them through trying times, or simply clothing to send their children to school in after they have left an abusive home.

To learn about the impact your financial contribution will have on our community, contact the development department at info@Sunrisepasco.org or 352-521-3358.

Sunrise to Sunset Capital Campaign
Sunrise of Pasco has a 40-bed domestic violence emergency shelter which offers protection and services to survivors of domestic violence and their children. The Sunrise to Sunset Capital Campaign was established to enable Sunrise of Pasco to maintain the physical facilities necessary to serve and provide a comfortable, homelike environment for survivors of domestic abuse. Multiple naming opportunities exist at many giving levels to permanently memorialize your generosity.

Gift annuities, life insurance policies, endowment funds, IRA’s and other donations which are often tax advantaged, strategies enable donors to make meaningful gifts to provide crucial financial support for the future of Sunrise of Pasco. Your generous gift through your bequest will help survivors in Pasco County and create a philanthropic legacy for others to follow.
