To provide education, resources, and support to individuals and communities impacted by domestic abuse.
About SELAH EMPOWERS
Selah Empowers is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Byron Center, Michigan, that offers free and confidential support, education, and advocacy to people affected by domestic abuse. The organization runs regular educational groups (virtual and in-person), individual support sessions, and partners with local counseling and service providers to connect survivors with legal, financial, and child-care resources. Selah operates as a community-funded charity that emphasizes peer support and professional referrals; it maintains ongoing group meeting schedules and a care line and provides materials, childcare and short-term professional counseling support to participants. The organization publicly lists its EIN and tax-exempt status and publishes newsletters and program information on its website to inform donors and community partners. In recent years Selah has formalized its nonprofit status and scaled operations: it established 501(c)(3) recognition in 2024, appointed a new executive director in January 2024, and reported materially larger annual contributions and net assets in organizational filings between 2022 and 2024, reflecting expanded fundraising and community support.
