Sing for a change, help us reach our goals so we can make an impact in domestic violence prevention and funding missing persons efforts. #TogetherWeCan #ittakesavillage

Our why...

Gabby went missing while on a cross-country road trip that included visits to many of our national parks. After an intensive search it was discovered that Gabby’s life was tragically cut short. In the wake of Gabby's murder, Gabby Petito Foundation was born. Our Foundation is rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in our communities. We are honored to be assisting organizations that provide immediate tangible help to survivors of domestic violence, and we are proud to work with organizations that assist with locating missing persons. With a variety of big ideas and goals, it is our hope to be at the forefront of positive and pro-active change with awareness, prevention strategies, and education.

We are proud of our efforts and could not have done this work without ongoing support we have received from around the world which is appreciated more than people could ever understand. Together, we can make a difference, save lives, bring missing loved ones home, and hopefully prevent tragedies like Gabby's from happening to anyone else.

We wish to turn our personal tragedy into a positive. It is our hope that Gabby’s foundation will bring these important issues into the forefront of the public eye to the benefit of all our communities.

What we have done so far:

Donated $145k to the National Domestic Violence Hotline most utilized towards their campaign to hire more advocates to answer calls and chats.

Presented $4k in scholarships to students. Each year, two High School Graduates pusuing an education in the arts will receive a $1k scholarship.

Teton County Search and Rescue received over $20k for supplies which included a new snowmobile.
