A Legacy of Hope. A Future of Possibility.
Thirty years ago, seven women came together with a shared belief: survivors of domestic and sexual violence deserved to be heard, supported, and given the opportunity to build a safer future. That belief became Daya - and the beginning of a legacy of hope. Over the past three decades, Daya has grown into a community of survivors, advocates, volunteers, donors, and partners committed to making safety, healing, and hope possible. Every person who has walked through our doors, reached out for support, volunteered their time, or invested in this work, has helped lay the foundation for what Daya is today.
This year, we celebrated that legacy. Now we have an opportunity to help shape what comes next. As we close out our 30th anniversary year, we are inviting our community to come together once again and help us raise $150,000 by December 31 to help carry Daya's critical work forward. At a time when more survivors are turning to Daya for support, and funding is becoming increasingly uncertain, our community's investment matters more than ever.
And there is an incredible opportunity to make your generosity go even further. Thanks to an extraordinary matching gift from an anonymous donor, the first $50,000 in donations will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your generosity! Every gift helps Daya provide culturally responsive, holistic support to survivors and families. It helps create pathways toward safety and healing. And it helps ensure that when someone reaches out for help, Daya can continue to be there in meaningful ways.
Please consider making an investment in Daya's future with a year-end gift.
For 30 years, our community has shown what is possible when we come together around a shared commitment to survivors. With your generosity, we can carry that legacy forward and continue making safety, healing, and hope possible for generations to come.
When you give to Daya, you are not just making a donation — you are offering someone the light they need to move towards freedom. Together, we can ensure that every survivor finds their way toward safety, healing, and hope.
