This year, we have seen the powerful impact of contributions made by our supporters, coupled with community partnerships.

Our donors have helped us provide 154 comfort boxes and college care kits to those seeking care after an assault. Additionally, we’ve supported 23 survivors through our new Journey Forward Empowerment Program, and reached 176 individuals through awareness events and community education. Survivors have shared that they feel “more confident and empowered to share” their story, and feel like “they belong here, with caring people in a safe place.”

One challenge that we continue to face is the lack of consistent funding. We are not alone in this. A recent article published by Inside Philanthropy reported that gender-based violence (GBV) organizations, or those providing victim-survivor services, are often overlooked for philanthropic funding due to the perception of not being “scalable.” Yet, the need for services continues to grow year after year.

Despite proving year after year that our services are vital, funders remain apprehensive to support our mission because of our organization’s age, limited reach, or unique focus on survivor support. With that, we ask: how does one prove credibility or impact without the resources to do so? It’s a frustrating cycle to be stuck in, but our commitment to survivors motivates us to find innovative ways to do our work.

We hope you will consider supporting Haven Box and the survivors we serve. Your gift today sends a powerful message to survivors - one that communicates your support and belief in them, ultimately empowering their journey toward recovery.
