Your year-end gift has an impact on your community. Many donors consider year-end giving for two reasons: First, it’s the season of giving and you’re compelled to give from your heart. For others, there’s the tax-deduction incentive that’s helpful for you in your long-term financial goals. For whichever reason you give, we’re very thankful for support.
Your gift does make a difference in your community. Its impact can be felt twofold:
First, it allows us to continue to provide quality counseling, medical and legal advocacy, support groups and resources to the victims seeking our services. Secondly, it allows us to go into the community and provide prevention education to students to help keep them safe by teaching age-appropriate protective behaviors. WE also educate adults on how to recognize and react to sexual violence. Intervention and Prevention; both are needed if we’re to end sexual violence in the Fox Cities.
