Executive Summary
Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments
Safe Alternatives to Violent Environment was founded by a group of women in the Bay Area in
1976. The women noticed that their community was missing a shelter that could accommodate
the needs of domestic violence victims. SAVE serves the Southern Alameda County and offers
safe housing programs, and educational programs to high schools, police officers, and medical
personnel about domestic violence.
Our proposed plan is to improve S.A.V.E.’s brand awareness by implementing a weekly schedule
of posting online, creating a standardized donation email, and tabling on-campus at Santa Clara
University. The outcomes we plan to achieve are increased social media engagement, improved
donor reception of emails, and higher brand awareness at Santa Clara University.
Commitment
Royal Consulting Group is excited to work with S.A.V.E to help improve their social media presence,
as well as brand awareness. This improvement to the organization will help ensure the success of
their first Giving Tuesday event. The event will be focused on attracting donations that will help
fund Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments. We hope to guarantee the success of Giving
Tuesday to use the donated funds to reach even more domestic abuse victims in the community.
Given our various studies in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, and Management Information
Systems, our team provides a wide variety of skillsets to address any obstacles that may arise.

Introduction to the Problem/Need
Domestic Violence Statistics Overview
Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or
otherwise abused (Domestic Violence Statistics). Based on data in 2017, approximately 40% of
California women experience physical intimate partner violence. Also, 1 in 4 men will be victims
of intimate partner violence. This can lead to trauma that stays with them after the violence
ends. Domestic violence increases the chances for depression and suicidal behavior and can
negatively impact a victim's ability to perform well at work. This can reduce the amount of
money a victim may have, trapping them in an abusive relationship.
Domestic violence affects younger generations as they mature. Men who as children witnessed
their parents’ domestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives than sons of
nonviolent parents. Studies also suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of
domestic violence annually. Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a
boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a breakup.

Introduction to the Problem/Need (Continued)
Domestic Violence Statistics in California
• Domestic violence programs in California answers over 922 crises calls per day, which is
an average of 38 calls per hour.
• 492 people on average requested assistance and they couldn’t be helped because there
were not enough resources.
• Between 2001-2007, over 91,000 victims stayed in State-funded domestic violence
shelters, while an average of 7,348 adult victims were turned away per year because
shelters were full.
• State-funded domestic violence programs counseled over 50,000 children from 2002-
2008, which is an average of 8,350 children counseled per year (Domestic Violence
Statistics).
S.A.V.E’s Impact
S.A.V.E. works to lower and domestic violence. They have a 24-hour Hotline, group counseling
sessions, an Emergency Safe House, presentations at schools, and a Community Oriented
Prevention Services (C.O.P.S.) program. S.A.V.E.’s services are all meant to bring peace and hope
to victims of domestic violence and their families, and to empower and strengthen communities
through education and outreach.

Project Rationale
Bringing Awareness to Domestic Violence
S.A.V.E.’s mission is to increase awareness for domestic violence. Given that October is Domestic
Abuse Awareness month and November is Giving Tuesday, S.A.V.E. is focused on fundraising
during these two months to continue S.A.V.E.’s non-profit services.
In the Facebook page that we are designing, we would like to implement “Factual Friday”. It will
be a small news fact that would give a random statistic or fact about domestic violence, the
organization, or tips and tricks.
During tabling, Royal Consulting Group and Alpha Phi Omega will be passing out flyers and fact
sheets that give details about domestic violence and the services that S.A.V.E. provides. Royal
Consulting Group will be sporting purse charms on our backpacks, as well as passing out purse
charms to people who make a team to join the Purple Purse challenge, a fundraising campaign
challenge started by Serena Williams for domestic violence non-profit organizations.

Deliverables
In operating this project for Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (S.A.V.E), Royal Consulting
Group (RCG) will assist in increasing brand awareness, awareness of domestic violence, and
accommodate in the funding of Purple Purse and “Giving Tuesday”. We will achieve this through
creating a social media platform and an email template, and conduct a tabling at Santa Clara
University. S.A.V.E. will act as the primary host for all events, however, RCG will be responsible
for the increase in S.A.V.E.’s brand awareness and its social media presence.

Success Metrics
S.A.V.E. will measure RCG’s success through the amount of likes and views. Any donations
S.A.V.E. receives will be treated as a bonus to our success, but it will also be known that it is not
RCG’s main goal to help them raise money. RCG can provide the most benefit to S.A.V.E. by
completing the goals listed below in a timely fashion.
1. Create an Instagram and Twitter social media platform and run any postings with S.A.V.E
by every Wednesday before going public on every Friday.
2. Distribute handouts around school and the community to raise awareness, as well as
organize a school event to promote awareness.
3. Hand out purse charms for donations.
4. At the end of every week, RCG will update S.A.V.E via email of current progress with each
of the website views and likes, as well as donation totals.

Discussion
Summary of Project Outcomes
Royal Consulting Group aimed to increase S.A.V.E.’s brand awareness through social media,
specifically Facebook. RCG posted weekly updates on how S.A.V.E. helps survivors of domestic
abuse and emphasizing two events: Purple Purse and Giving Tuesday. In the images below
demonstrates the growth from RCG’s posts to S.A.V.E.’s previous posts. On the left is RCG’s post
with over twice the amount of people reached and almost twice as many engagements.

Discussion (Continued)
On October 22nd through October 24th Royal Consulting Group worked with Alpha Phi Omega
to table on Santa Clara University’s campus to increase brand awareness to a younger
generation. After tabling for three days, we passed out 300 End Domestic Violence fliers and
gave away 100 Purple Purse charms that have extra information about domestic violence on
them.
Giving Tuesday is a nationwide event that supports non-profits through donations. Royal
Consulting Group made an email template for S.A.V.E. to utilize for the current Giving Tuesday
and future ones. In collaboration with S.A.V.E.’s fundraising efforts on Giving Tuesday, there
were $2,978.30 from emails and $305 from Facebook, with a total of $3,283.30 in online
donations. The image below is the email template RCG created for S.A.V.E. for Giving Tuesday.

Discussion (Continued)
Implications
After conducting the social media campaign and the on-campus outreach for SAVE, RCG found
that our project positively impacted the community and SCU students by increasing awareness
regarding domestic violence. Through the responses, we received from the implication of our
project, especially through tabling, we noticed that students demonstrated an interest in
learning about our cause as they were active and engaged in asking questions and coming to our
booth. Through this activity, RCG realized that our community received a better understanding
regarding the importance of domestic violence awareness.
Royal Consulting Group was surprised with the engagement level of donors in response to RCG’s
donor email. As mentioned earlier, S.A.V.E. was able to exceed their goal of donations. Without
the constant support and quick responses from Paula Manczuk, this project would not have
achieved the level of success that it did. Her clear dedication to RCG and S.A.V.E. made the multi-
pronged campaign run smoothly.
RCG believes that donors and students on the Santa Clara University campus reacted positively
to the tabling, Facebook posts, and email template. This campaign serves as a representation
that with improved brand image that S.A.V.E. will be able to increase donations and engagement
with their services.
Limitations
We experienced four different obstacles during the project that included both uncontrollable
elements and some unexpected events.
1. We had limited space to table inside the hallway at the Benson cafeteria. While we were
correct in assuming that the building would have the most traffic and garner us the most
exposure, we were limited in the space and hours we could book to table. Therefore, we
made sure to be early at each shift and stay until the very end of each shift to not waste a
single minute, and ensure that there were people always present tabling. Our local
service fraternity was able to assist us with tabling when they could, but Royal Consulting
Group made
2. Royal Consulting Group struggled with the demographics of the school community. We
found that students in college do not struggle with domestic abuse on a wide scale;
which in retrospect is a good thing, but severely limited our audience in finding people
who needed or were open to assistance with domestic abuse.
18
Discussion (Continued)
3. The importance of pictures. Royal Consulting Group did not add pictures or visual data to
every post and this resulted in mediocre engagements, likes, shares, and reposts. There
was a direct correlation between posts with pictures/graphics and likes, and if we were
able to pick up on that aspect sooner, we could have promoted more engagement for
SAVE.
4. Royal Consulting Group was also limited to by the number of friends and followers who
viewed and shared posts in the differing social media platforms. In order to combat this,
we turned our own profile posts public so that anyone could see our shared posts from
SAVE without getting privacy filtered. However, gathering large numbers for views and
likes proved to still be an obstacle.
Recommendations
This project can be replicated by continuing and following the current format for the weekly
“Factual-Friday” Facebook posts. The format that Royal Consulting Group uses is listing the fact
first, followed by a service that S.A.V.E. provides, and attached with a photo of relevant work
that Royal Consulting Group has done for that week.
A recommendation to the weekly Facebook posts would be to incorporate more photos of the
staff and the work that S.A.V.E. does. Royal Consulting Group mainly used photos of fliers and
students as the focus of Royal Consulting Group’s project. Using more photos of the staff and the
services that S.A.V.E. provides will communicate to donors where their donations are directly
impacting.
