Changing the world, one Wednesday at a time.
We called ourselves The Wednesday Team.
Now is the time to support our work.
Your donation will
be matched
through October 31, 2012.
In the early days of 2004, we came together every other Wednesday to create the blueprint for a storytelling initiative that would allow survivors of sexual violence to share their stories with the public - not only because doing so would be healing but because doing so is necessary in a world that too often turns a blind eye to sexual violence.
7 years after we launched The Voices and Faces Project as a national non-profit, our small collective of survivors has grown to over 300 women and men who are sharing their stories. We've traveled to 40 US states and 3 continents with our educational workshops and presentations … worked toward the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women act… launched "The Stories We Tell," the country's first two-day writing workshop for victims of sexual violence, domestic violence and trafficking… and received the National Sexual Violence Resource Center's "Visionary Voice Award" at a Clinton Presidential Center ceremony.
Now, in recognition of our work, one of our earliest supporters - The William H. Donner Foundation — is offering to match donations made to The Voices and Faces Project, dollar for dollar, between now and October 31, 2012. If you've supported us before, we hope you'll do so again today. If you've never given to The Voices and Faces Project, now is the perfect time to make twice the impact. Thanks, in advance, for supporting our work through your donation.
