The Allstate Foundation is asking the public to vote for the recipient of a $100,000 grant. Possible recipients include Charity Cars, Family Justice Center Alliance, Safe Alliance and the YWCA.

The organizations competing to receive the grant share The Allstate Foundation's mission of working to end domestic violence and finding new ways to economically empower survivors. "The Allstate Foundation selected these non-profit organizations as contenders for the grants because of their strong leadership and programming in the area of domestic violence and economic empowerment," said Jennifer Kuhn, program manager, The Allstate Foundation Economics Against Abuse program.

Visitors can vote as well as learn more about each of the highlighted organizations and their domestic violence programs on the www.ClicktoEmpower.org Web site. Visitors can vote once a day during the campaign, which runs through Sept. 13. The organization that gets the most votes will receive a $100,000 grant and the remaining three will each get a $10,000 grant.--Tanya Irwin
