Our Partners
Collaborations that Work

Our lean organization transforms the lives of women who have had to rise above odds by partnering with organizations that support our important mission.
Durham Crisis Response Center
The Durham Crisis Response Center (DCRC) and InStepp, Inc. have partnered to provide a seamless continuum of care, including transitional housing, to the women and children who transition out of the Durham emergency shelter each year, or who are identified through the agency's Non-Residential Services Program.  The Durham Transitional Housing Program is being funded by a grant awarded by the Department of Justice's Office of Violence Against Women Transitional Housing Program. 

Under the grant, DCRC will provide assistance finding permanent and safe housing in addition to counseling, case management and advocacy.  InStepp, Inc. will provide employability and life skills education in addition to employment counseling and mentoring support through its Employment Reentry Assistance Program for Women.

El Centro Hispano
InStepp, Inc. has partnered with El Centro Hispano along with Kiran, Inc. and the Durham Crisis Response Center (DCRC), to create the Durham Multi-Agency Collaboration Project.  Through the DCP partnership, InStepp will be able to provide streamlined, efficient and comprehensive culturally- and linguistically-specific services to Latino victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking within the Durham community.  Under the grant, InStepp will expand its economic empowerment-based programming for the first time to Hispanic victims in the Triangle area, and will be better able to serve its own clients who have experienced intimate partner violence.  The Durham Multi-Agency Collaboration Project is funded by the Department of Justice's Office of Violence Against Women Grant to Enhance Culturally and Lingusitically Specific Services for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking and Sexual Assault. 

Kiran, Inc

InStepp, Inc. has partnered with Kiran, Inc. along with El Centro Hispano and the Durham Crisis Response Center (DCRC), to create the Durham Multi-Agency Collaboration Project.  Through the DCP partnership, InStepp will develop a culturally- and linguistically-specific curriculum for South Asian female victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking within the Durham community.  The Durham Multi-Agency Collaboration Project is funded by the Department of Justice's Office of Violence Against Women Grant to Enhance Culturally and Lingusitically Specific Services for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking and Sexual Assault. 

North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development (NCIMED)

InStepp, Inc. and the North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development  have formed a strategic partnership to promote financial independence among women in North Carolina, and to serve as a strategic resource for women in transition who are seeking the services of the North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development’s Women’s Business Center of North Carolina.  NCIMED will provide financial health workshops and seminars quarterly to InStepp's ERA clients that address topics of financial independence (i.e., credit, budgeting, savings) and will offer individualized, one-on-one financial management and credit review services to referred ERA clients. 

Dress for Success Triangle NC


In June 2008, InStepp qualified as a first phase referral partner with Dress for Success Triangle NC. Dress for Success Triangle NC advances low-income women's economic and social development and encourages self-sufficiency.  On her initial visit, a woman receives a suit appropriate for the industry in which she is interviewing and, if available, accessories.
