AnchorD is a social enterprise being built in Spokane, Washington — a contact center that employs domestic violence survivors from day one, trains them in high-demand careers, builds their credit, and graduates them in 24 months with a career, a Healthy Savings, and the keys to their own home.
We are in our founding stage. We are building something that has never been done before — and we want you to be part of it from the beginning.
Empowering Businesses to Save.
When you partner with AnchorD, you are directly saving the lives of domestic violence survivors — giving them employment, stability, and a future that belongs entirely to them.

What We Are Building
A safety app disguised as a game — fully playable, genuinely fun, and secretly loaded with safety features. Swipe a word and it silently calls for help, dispatches a volunteer, or connects her to a live advocate — invisible to anyone watching over her shoulder.
A safe campus community — subsidized housing, on-site childcare, a grocery store, and essential shops, all in one secure, background-checked community built around her healing.
Financial security from day one — every woman starts an entry-level job her first week. Real wages, real stability, and the dignity of earning her own way from the moment she arrives.
Career training — no degree required — we train women in high-demand fields like HVAC, manufacturing, software development, and real estate. Careers that pay $20–$35/hr and open doors that don\'t require four years and student debt.
A complete support system — we help build credit scores, establish healthy spending habits, and save toward the goal of homeownership. By the end of our two-year program, she graduates with a career, a 700+ credit score, and $58,000+ saved for a down payment on her own home.
Survivors to Rise.
Our goal is to stabilize, support, empower, and uplift every survivor — from the scariest moment of her life, through a career she is proud of, into a home that is entirely hers, and beyond. We don't just want her to survive. We want her to rise so high she can reach back and lift the next woman up.
