Sexual Assault Awareness Month At DCFNE

Caring for survivors of sexual assault is at the heart of our mission. That is why we proudly commemorate Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) each April. This year's theme, “Together We Act, United We Change,” underscores the importance of collective action in addressing and preventing sexual violence. Here are a few ways you can get involved:

Spread Awareness

  • Share content from DCFNE’s free Social Media ToolKit on your personal social media accounts! We have made it easier than ever to spread the word about the important services that DCFNE offers to survivors of sexual assault. 

  • Distribute outreach materials to local businesses, medical providers, and places of interest. Complete the Outreach Material Request Form and we will send you everything you need!

Support DCFNE

  • Make a donation to expand our capacity for outreach, education, and patient care. DCFNE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. Checks can be made out to DCFNE and mailed to 101 Q Street NE, Suite T02, Washington, DC, 20002.

  • Donate items from DCFNE’s Amazon Wishlist. Whether it is snacks, drinks, fidget toys, or office supplies, all of these items help DCFNE to support the survivors we work with. 

  • Visit DCFNE’s GoodStock store to purchase one of our awesome t-shirt designs. Proceeds from our merch store go directly to our organization.

Follow DCFNE on Socials

  • Follow and engage with DCFNE’s social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Tiktok, LinkedIn, and Youtube. When you like, comment, or share our posts, you boost our visibility, and help us connect with the folks who need our services!
