Events
The impact of Covid-19 has been devastating in a number of ways, specifically on the fundraising efforts of non-profit organizations. As a non-profit, we rely heavily on in-person events to raise money as well as raise awareness of the impact of sexual violence in our communities. We had many events planned for 2020-2021, but many efforts have been put on hold or canceled. Your dollars can help alleviate the financial strain! If you are able, we hope you please consider donating to the Delaware Alliance Against Sexual Violence. Your contribution will help fund efforts to support a Coordinated Community Response to Sexual Violence, bridging gaps in services so fewer people fall through the cracks.
