As we pause to share our gratitude at this time of Thanksgiving, we want to thank you for supporting our work, for joining us to banish the darkness surrounding violence and abuse, and for believing in the vision we are working towards together—a community without sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse.

So today, with our deepest and heartfelt gratitude, we are proud to share our report on the Joyful Heart Foundation’s 2012 – 2013 accomplishments.

Inside its pages, you’ll read about firsts—game-changing, ground-breaking achievements that have brought us to a crossroads—a moment in time in which our vision has never been closer, in which we are creating true transformation in the way we define healing and respond to survivors.

Because you have turned towards these issues with us, you know how much this work is urgently needed. And you make it possible. You stand with us at this crossroads. You believe—passionately, relentlessly, unequivocally—in what we are doing and the road that lies ahead.


We thank you for standing with us, and we invite you to read about everything you have made possible this year.
