Grants: Helping Others To Perform Our Mission
The Kristin Mitchell Foundation awards grants every year to local agencies working to educate about dating violence on college campuses. Aldersgate Youth Services Bureau and Women In Transition were the two recipients of our 2009 grants.
In 2010, we awarded grants to Aldersgate Youth Services Bureau (Philadelphia area), A Women’s Place (Philadelphia area), University of Maryland Baltimore County (Howard County, Maryland), and Stevenson University (Baltimore, Maryland).
Scholarships: A Scholarship In Kristin’s name
The Kristin M. Mitchell ‘05 Memorial Scholarship is awarded yearly. The recipient will always be a Saint Joseph’s University undergraduate student who exemplifies the extraordinary contributions Kristin made to SJU, and must have demonstrated active involvement in Service Learning activities.
Speaking Engagements: Let Us Talk About Dating Violence
From the time Kristin passed away, our Kristin Mitchell Foundation board members have spoken before colleges and universities about dating violence. We have also given speeches for domestic violence agencies before thousands at their annual luncheons in both Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Why We Raise Funds
With proper funding, we take the message of our mission to those who need it. We are open to bringing our fund-raising efforts to new venues. If you or your establishment would like to host us, please contact us and let’s do something that will be great together.

Dating Violence Is Happening All Around Us
The truth is painful:
- 1 in 3 girls who have been in a serious relationship say they’ve been concerned about being physically hurt by their partner.
- 1 in 4 teens who have been in a serious relationship say their boyfriend or girlfriend has tried to prevent them from spending time with friends or family.
March 2006, Liz Claiborne Inc. commissioned Teenage Research Unlimited (TRU).
