Impact Report

We welcome you to review our Impact Report. In it, you'll learn about how Theresa's Fund came to be in 1992, why Theresa's Fund launched DomesticShelters.org in August 2014, and the data that has been gathered since to help us understand the positive influence our work is having on people.

Wish List Platform

We offer a free wish list platform for domestic violence agencies and programs that completely automates the wish list purchasing and delivery process. Available only in the U.S., hundreds of organizations use the program -- that takes about 5 minutes to launch -- to specify from our catalog of 2,000+ products the exact items and quantities needed so that misfit donations don't occur, to make buying as easy as online shopping for donors and to streamline the logistics with automatic deliveries. Watch this video to learn more, follow these steps to set up a wish list or contact us with any questions.

About Theresa’s Fund

Theresa’s Fund is an Arizona-based 501(c)3 non-profit charity started in 1992 by Preston V. McMurry, Jr. Originally, and at a time when domestic violence wasn’t yet a headline, Theresa’s Fund focused on changing the landscape of domestic violence services in its home state through grant making, board development and fundraising for Arizona-based organizations like East Valley Child Crisis Center, Sojourner Center, Florence Crittenden, Emerge, UMOM, and West Valley Child Crisis Center. In 2014, it developed the DomesticShelters.org concept as a way to expand its reach to people across the U.S./Canada.
