In order to help victims of domestic violence, and to share profits from their business instead of giving it to the government in form of taxes, Verizon decided to donate $1.5 million to a couple of non-profit organizations.

The donation also matches the “Domestic Violence Awareness Month”, and according to Tim McCallion of Verizon, this is a “serious epidemic that affects people from every walk of life”.

Taking in consideration that Verizon likes organizations that support the victims via education, empowerment, and victim relief, this is the list of non-profit organizations from California that will receive a donation:

- DeafHope, Oakland – $50,000
- California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, Sacramento – $50,000
- Ocean Park Community Center, Santa Monica – $30,000

- Riverside County Coalition for Alternatives to Domestic Violence – $50,000
- San Bernardino Sexual Assault Services – $45,000
