WICSEC 2025 Fundraiser - Violence Free Minnesota

The Western Intergovernmental Child Support Engagement Council (WICSEC) is raising funds for Violence Free Minnesota (VFMN) during its annual training conference taking place from September 8 – 12, 2025 in St. Paul, MN.

WICSEC is a nonprofit organization of public and private child support professionals committed to improving the child support program for the children and families they serve. WICSEC chose Violence Free Minnesota, the statewide coalition to end relationship abuse, this year to continue its tradition of supporting and fundraising for a local charity that positively impacts families and children.

All donations raised through this year's WICSEC annual training conference will go directly to the Survivor Fund at Violence Free Minnesota.

The Survivor Fund provides one-time, low-barrier cash grants to domestic and sexual violence victims/survivors across Minnesota. These flexible funds help survivors increase or maintain housing stability, build credit, and meet urgent economic needs that directly impact their safety and well-being. 

Since 2017, the Survivor Fund has impacted the lives of 658 survivors. 

 “Her demeanor changed from defeated to 'I can do this' when she got the check.” - an advocate supporting a survivor 

"The fund helped her with that final barrier to stable permanent housing. Her kids can still attend the same schools they had become a part of while with us, which is its own stability. Getting that help to make this happen - it looked like a literal weight just lifted off of her." - an advocate supporting a survivor 

By contributing, you are helping ensure that survivors have access to resources they need.

Thank you for standing with survivors.
