REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, Inc., August 8, 2018<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, Inc., a domestic and sexual violence nonprofit, received a $10,000 Targeted Grant from Eastern Bank<\/a>, America\u2019s oldest and largest mutual bank. The grant will support REACH\u2019s ability to address and prevent the problem of domestic violence in our communities in the Greater Boston area.<\/p>\n

Each year, the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation\u2019s Targeted Grant program supports hundreds of community-based organizations working for progress on a specific issue in Eastern Bank\u2019s New England footprint. In 2018, in celebration of the Bank\u2019s 200th anniversary and to honor its first depositor, Rebecca Sutton, Targeted Grants have been designated to support organizations addressing a range of issues that disproportionately impact women, such as sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, health care, pay equity, and senior management and board representation. REACH is among 170 nonprofits each receiving a $10,000 grant. In total, Eastern is granting $1.7 million in Targeted Grants this year to nonprofits in communities from New Hampshire to Cape Cod and throughout the South Shore, North Shore, Metro West, Merrimack Valley and Greater Boston.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody has a role in preventing and ending domestic violence,\u201d states REACH Executive Director Laura Van Zandt. \u201cEastern Bank is doing their part with this meaningful investment in the fantastic work happening all around us. REACH is thrilled to be part of a group that is addressing issues that affect all of us due to gender inequity and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eastern\u2019s Targeted Grant program this year creates new opportunities and resources for women in areas where assistance is needed the most. The facts are staggering:<\/p>\n

\n– A woman is assaulted every nine seconds in the U.S. and one in three women has been a victim of physical brutality by an intimate partner, making intimate partner violence the single greatest cause of injury to women.
\n– In Massachusetts, women earn 83 cents for every dollar paid to men. In New Hampshire, they earn 76 cents. African-American women nationwide earn 64 cents for every dollar earned by white men, and Latinas\u2014only 56 cents.
\n– In the sciences, women represent less than 25% of those employed in computer and mathematical occupations and only 15% in architecture and engineering. For women of color, this gap is even wider. Asian women, African-American women, and Latinas make up less than 10% of working scientists and engineers in the U.S.
\n– Women receive more graduate degrees and they hold more faculty positions in colleges and universities, and yet, men hold the highest number of tenured university positions.
\n– Only 32 women run Fortune 500 companies and only two are women of color. Less than 20% of all board seats in Fortune 1,000 companies are held by women. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe in breaking down the barriers that stand between people and prosperity. That\u2019s why Eastern is a strong advocate for the advancement of women,\u201d said Bob Rivers, Chair and CEO of Eastern Bank. \u201cWith each Targeted Grant, we aim to enhance the lives of our neighbors and contribute to real progress around the advancement of women in our local communities. On behalf of everyone at Eastern, we congratulate this year\u2019s Targeted Grant recipients and thank them for working to level the playing field.\u201d <\/p>\n
