Founded in 1955 to improve the lives of women, the Avon Foundation for Women is the world’s largest corporate-affiliated philanthropy focused solely on issues that matter most to women. Through 2012, Avon global philanthropy has donated more than $910 million in over 50 countries for women’s causes. Avon philanthropy currently focuses on breast cancer research and access to care through the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, and efforts to reduce domestic and gender violence through the Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program.

Our Impact

The Avon Foundation’s Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program was launched in 2004 to help reduce the startling statistic that one in three women globally will be a victim of partner violence in her lifetime. In addition to funding programs that provide direct services for victims and their families, Speak Out is also dedicated to educating and building awareness surrounding this issue and ways to prevent abuse. Avon’s Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program has donated nearly $50 million in more than 50 countries through 2012.
