More information
The major focus of The Michael Bolton Charities is in the area of violence against women. It has continued to devote its time to draw attention to the domestic violence epidemic and to enlist other people to raise their voices for zero tolerance on the issue. The foundation will do whatever possible to secure continued and additional funding to keep the shelters open, our educational programs functioning and our children and women safe. Future projects in the planning stages include the creation of a Domestic Violence Legal Advocacy Fellowship, which will train law students to provide legal assistance to domestic violence survivors, and the formation of a statewide task force to work on creating a Family Justice Center in Connecticut, based on the model in Brooklyn, New York. A Family Justice Center is a one-stop shopping center of support services for domestic violence victims and their families offering counseling, legal aid assistance, shelter, law enforcement assistance, interfaith counseling and a host of other services, by service providers on site.
