• The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade supports access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved.

• The Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative focuses on awareness and education, direct service programs and prevention to end the devastating cycle of domestic violence.

The Avon Foundation recognizes the value of strategic alliances in bringing greater awareness and funds to these important causes. If you wish to create a mutually beneficial co-venture to benefit the breast cancer or domestic violence cause, the Avon Foundation welcomes proposals. A co-venture is an arrangement between the Foundation and a business whereby the business is permitted to advertise that a specific portion of its sales of certain products or services will be donated to the Foundation. Please review the following Avon Foundation co-venture guidelines. If your organization meets the initial criteria, please submit a proposal for consideration by downloading and completing our co-venture questionnaire. Email proposals to: Jill.Monum@avonfoundation.org.

The Avon Foundation trademark, service mark and logos may be used only by parties previously given written permission by the Avon Foundation. If you do not meet our co-venture guidelines but still wish to raise funds or donate to the cause, the Avon Foundation appreciates any and all direct donations. You may wish to download our Helping Save Lives brochure for ideas on how you can help raise funds and awareness in your community. If you are planning an event to raise funds for the Avon Foundation, please contact us in advance for review and approval of your plan and use of our name. We value your efforts and your dedication! If you are interested in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer event in your area, please contact your local Walk office.

We are grateful that so many share our commitment and determination to save lives and empower women. Together we are changing their lives for the better.
