What Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation does

Mission

Diamond Diva Empowerment Foundation 2def is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating, strengthening, and empowering survivors affected by domestic violence and various socio-economic conditions. Our purpose is to be a necessary resource to survivors, primarily focusing on those who have experienced the effects of domestic violence. We will accomplish this by aiding them to rebuild from the inside out, reevaluate themselves, and stabilize their lives. Through our programs, survivors can freely walk a journey of life, truly recovered, and be healed from domestic violence and other socioeconomic struggles. We are an organization committed to rebuilding the core of each survivor, while encouraging them to focus on their strengths and well-being. It is our hope that by providing various programs, services, and initiatives, we will inspire, uplift, and empower those we serve and the communities we serve in.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.

We are pleased to report that the need for our services grew at a phenomenal rate in 2024. To meet this increased demand, we expanded our programming to include two key initiatives this past year. These new programs are designed to enhance the support we provide to our clients, their families, and the community: pathways to housing is an economic stabilization program geared towards assisting survivors transitioning from domestic violence with obtaining services, skills, and resources that will allow them to move from victim to survivor. P2ho focuses on three key areas: emergency shelter, housing/rental assistance, and other emergency services. Pathways to healing provides trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy & creative arts therapy as a part of our mental health wellness and counseling services program, tailored to empower survivors and their children. P2he seeks to address issues of trauma, the effects of violence, and reduce the transference of cyclical and generational trauma in victims of domestic violence for adults, directly addressing the challenges they face after leaving or encountering an abusive relationship. We provide resources to help them heal emotionally, build resilience, and develop the skills needed to thrive.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
