Donate
BRH could not operate without community support! Whether you donate your time, expertise, money, or products, your donation is appreciated. As of our latest data, our administrative costs are 14%, meaning that the other 86% goes toward directly serving survivors. Your money, should you choose to give, is going directly to people in need.
Monetary Donations
Monetary donations can be dropped off at the BRH office and checks can be mailed to:
Bolton Refuge House, Inc
PO Box 482
Eau Claire, WI 54702
You can make a secure online donation at any time through PayPal!
Safety Planning Supplies
Not all survivors choose to or are able to leave their homes. In order to do everything we can to keep those individuals and families safe, we provide safety planning and suggest products that can add to their security, as well as items that can record/document instances of abuse or stalking. However, due to financial abuse or other financial barriers, many survivors cannot afford these items.
Help us keep survivors safe by donating items (or similar ones) from this list below. We are not affiliated with any of these brands and get no monetary incentive from their purchase. If you shop using Amazon Smile with us as your preferred charity (click here to learn more), your purchase goes even farther in helping us serve our community!
Door Jams & Locks
Items in this section can be used to secure rooms or homes from entry. The first three items can be deployed quickly in case of emergency to separate the abuser from the victim(s).
Cameras & Sensors
Items in this section are to alert the victim of intruder or other threats, as well as document instances of abuse or stalking.
