Grantmaking
Supporting local rape crisis centers that serve Active Duty service members, Veterans, and their loved ones.
Our approach
Local rape crisis centers play a vital role in supporting survivors, often as the first point of contact after sexual violence. Our funding expands access to survivor-centered care, strengthens local capacity, and addresses gaps in services for military-connected communities. We prioritize partners committed to equity, accessibility, and culturally responsive care.

- Direct services to Active Duty service members, Veterans, and their families
- Trauma-informed, survivor-centered care
