PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment

Help Us Keep Survivors.org Alive!!!!

At PAVE (Promoting Awareness | Victim Empowerment), now doing critical work under Survivors.org, our mission has always been clear: to prevent sexual violence and support survivors in reclaiming their voices, their power, and their healing. We’ve been honored to serve as a lifeline for survivors, students, educators, and communities across the country—shattering silence, stigma, and cycles of abuse.

Unfortunately, due to unexpected administrative transitions, we recently lost a major source of grant funding that had been sustaining some of our core programming. This loss was not due to a lack of impact—in fact, our work has never been more vital. But systemic shifts in leadership and funding channels have left us with a gap we need your help to fill.

That’s why we’re launching this urgent fundraiser.

Your donation today directly supports:

• Free survivor-led healing programs and other resources for survivors

• Prevention education in schools and universities

• Survivor advocacy and policy reform

• Outreach to underserved and marginalized communities

• The continued development of Survivors.org, a growing national resource hub for survivor empowerment

• Payroll of Survivors.org

We need your help to ensure this movement doesn’t lose momentum.

This is a moment to step up and stand beside the people who need it most. Every donation—no matter the size—is an act of solidarity. Let’s continue this movement. Let’s keep building a world where survivors are believed, supported, and empowered.

DONATE TODAY!!!! Help us keep supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

You can make a difference by donating today to PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment.

Promoting Awareness | Victim Empowerment (PAVE) supports and empowers victim-survivors and strives to prevent sexual violence through education, advocacy, and community action. For over twenty years, PAVE has worked to support survivors and end sexual violence. We've seen this epidemic first-hand, impacting millions of survivors, their loved ones, and communities worldwide. By making a donation today, you can join us in our mission to prevent sexual violence and empower survivors to thrive after trauma!

We need your help—now.

At Survivors.org (formerly PAVE), we are on a mission to end sexual and domestic violence and help survivors heal. Every day, more people are reaching out—survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, online abuse, and sex trafficking—seeking support, safety, and hope. The demand for our services has surged, and we are working around the clock to meet it.

Until now, federal funding has helped sustain our free, trauma-informed programs. But that support is ending—and without it, we face an urgent gap that threatens our ability to serve survivors who need us most.

We believe that healing should never come at a cost. That’s why every program we offer—from virtual support groups to one-on-one guidance—is completely free to survivors. But to keep this promise, we need your help now more than ever.

Our virtual-first model allows survivors to connect from wherever they feel safest: a dorm room, a childhood home, or a quiet corner of a library. That first moment of connection can be life-changing. But without the resources to expand, we risk leaving survivors without the support they deserve.

We are a small but determined team, powered by the generosity of people like you. Your donation today will help us fill the gap left by federal funding, grow our capacity, and continue to provide a safe, free space for healing.

This is the time to act.

Every contribution—no matter the size—makes a real impact. Even a few dollars can help us reach someone who feels invisible and alone. And if you’re unable to give right now, sharing this message is just as powerful.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can build a world where survivors are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
