Oregon is facing catastrophic funding cuts that threaten our work, and the work of our colleagues in the sexual violence, domestic, and child abuse prevention + response field.

Now, Oregon SATF’s nationally-recognized campus program is at risk of closure, after decades of support and legislative progress to keep Oregon students safe.

We won’t stop supporting Oregon schools, and will not let Oregon survivors and students pay the price for federal and state funding cuts.

Support our mission by contributing a donation today to ensure that our mission-driven work to support survivors continues for decades to come!

“Victims and survivors of power-based violence on college campuses within the state of Oregon have experienced easier access to resources, education, and support because of the work that Oregon SATF has done, and continues to do for campus advocates. I highly advocate for any ability for that work to continue.”
