The Geoffrey Beene Foundation also supports pertinent civic and societal causes. We place major emphasis on support for a variety of worthy family-centered causes that respect and work to keep families intact, as well as protect women and children. Through 2012, Geoffrey Beene Gives Back® will have donated over $1 million to organizations such as Save The Children, Safe Horizon, and the Resource Center for Women and Their Families, as well as more than $600,000 to the Family Violence Prevention Fund to help end domestic abuse. The FVPV's lofty endeavors include research with survivors and activists, community organizing, and innovative work to engage and train young fathers to uphold their responsibility to their families. Urgent priority is placed on the need to educate and raise the self-esteem of young men to prevent them from becoming future abusers, thereby ending abuse before it ever begins.
