Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Asian Women United of Minnesota (AWUM)'s mission is to end domestic violence by promoting safe and healthy relationships within the Asian-Pacific Islander community.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Asian Women United of Minnesota (AWUM)'s mission is to end domestic violence by promoting safe and healthy relationships within the Asian-Pacific Islander community. The Organzation servd 215 women in the community and provided shelter to 42 women and 48 children during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

  • AWUM operates the House of Peace shelter, which contains 24 beds and is staffed 24/7/365. Women fleeing domestic violence, trafficking situations receive comprehensive, customized advocacy services. Child and family advocates offer after school and evening programming to children of all ages. In addition, AWUM employs community advocates who are dispersed throughout the metro area, meeting with women in safe spaces to provide many kinds of support, including accompaniment to court and on information on acquiring various resources. House of peace has in general supported over 100 women and children annually. Community advocates reach out to 500+ individuals annually.

    Expenses $1,245,427 · Revenue $12,200

  • The ARP legal grant helped us with providing legal representation to women in court and hours of legal advocacy. AWUM contracted with 3 attorneys and a couple TBDs to take women's cases. We worked on OFP cases, DANCO cases, immigration issues, Custody issues, Parenting time issues. This was huge since one of the most stressful things for women is when they don't have an attorney to represent them in court.After our legal advocate at DASC resigned in March we were actively looking for a good fit for the position and we finally filled the position in August 25.

  • The Children's Group at the shelter is a vibrant and supportive community where young residents can engage in a variety of enriching activities. Each day, children participate in a mix of educational and recreational programs designed to promote learning, creativity, and social skills. Activities range from arts and crafts, storytelling, puzzle solving mini-games, and to outdoor play, and sports. Special events, such as themed parties and movie nights are also organized to create joyful memories and a sense of normalcy. The dedicated staff and volunteers work efficiently to ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and cared for, fostering a nurturing environment where they can thrive despite the challenges they face. The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council approved a Fiscal Year 2024 Flexible Support grant of $25,000.00 to our organization on April 23, 2024. AWUM brought in a teaching artist through COMPAS to do a project Ordinary to Extraordinary" that goes through the summer of 2025. The teaching artist has brought in a tapestry of various art projects and themes and will continue doing so during the period of the grant at the shelter a combination of various folk arts from India -sand art, mural's Mandala designs, rangoli and block printing and nature.
