BRAVIANT REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH DONATION TO THE REFUGE UTAH WOMEN’S SHELTER

CHICAGO – August 19, 2024 – As a practical example of the company’s unwavering commitment to volunteerism and community engagement, Braviant Holdings, LLC today announced a significant donation to The Refuge Utah, a leading women's shelter providing crucial support to survivors of domestic violence, rape, sexual assault, and stalking. The contribution underscores one of Braviant's core values, Acting With Integrity, by putting action to words.

Since its founding in 1984, The Refuge Utah, formerly known as The Center for Women and Children in Crisis, has been a beacon of hope and healing for countless survivors. The shelter provides a safe, caring, and therapeutic environment that facilitates recovery and advocates for victims. In 2022 alone, The Refuge Utah secured over 12,000 emergency and transitional housing nights, answered nearly 3,000 hotline calls, and provided more than 3,300 advocacy hours. These remarkable achievements are made possible through the generosity of partners, donors, and volunteers.

"At Braviant, we believe true community impact comes from being actively involved and committed to the well-being of those around us," said Kim Anderson, Braviant CEO." Our support for The Refuge Utah is a reflection of our dedication to not only serving those in the community who are often overlooked, but also to supporting vital community resources that provide safety and empowerment to those in need."

Braviant’s donation to The Refuge Utah will help ensure that the shelter continues to provide life-saving services and support to survivors. By backing organizations like The Refuge Utah, Braviant is reinforcing its broader mission of promoting financial inclusion and stability for all, especially those who are underserved and marginalized.

“We are deeply grateful for Braviant’s support, and for the many others who allow the continuation of our essential work of advocating for victims and facilitating their healing” said Ashlee Taylor, Executive Director of The Refuge Utah. “Our ability to welcome and assist those in crisis at any time is made possible by those who share our vision of hope”.
