"It's so important for women to be informed and empowered in all areas of their lives," said the site's founder Tasha Cunningham. "And I'm thrilled to be able to start 2008 by launching this fund to help women to do just that. DDHG Empowers, in partnership with the Dade Community Foundation, will fund projects and programs that uplift women, give them a voice and make a positive impact on their lives."

A significant portion of the proceeds from DontDateHimGirl.com's annual advertising revenue will be donated to the fund, which will be administered by the Dade Community Foundation. DontDateHimGirl.com is an online resource for women seeking counsel, community and communication about love, sex, dating, relationships and marriage. Its mission is to empower women with information and connections to help them make better decisions and take more control in their personal lives.

"DontDateHimGirl.com gives us a powerful tool that can help to limit the amount of damage con men and sociopaths can wreak on our lives," says Kerry Gray of Austin, Texas, a poster and frequent visitor to the site. "Before, these men would simply move to the next town and next victim. Today, thanks to the World Wide Web and DDHG, we have a way to help our sisters around the world. Information is power."
