Why You Should Donate to Sexual Assault Prevention for Teens

Make your holiday donation count toward safer futures.

A Movement Powered by You

Every holiday season, people all over the world set aside some of their hard-earned money to support organizations that are driving change. But let’s be honest—sometimes, donations can feel distant. You give, but it’s hard to see exactly how your generosity is making a difference.

At SafeBAE, we want you to know that every single dollar donated creates a ripple effect of impact. From funding resources that spark vital conversations to empowering students and educators with tools to create safer communities, your support changes lives in tangible, measurable ways.

In this article, we’re breaking down how every dollar—whether it’s $20, $50, or more—helps shape the future of sexual assault prevention. Here’s how your contribution fuels real, lasting change.

Why Supporting Teen Sexual Assault Prevention Matters

Every year, millions of teens navigate the complexities of relationships, boundaries, and growing independence. Sadly, 1 in 3 teens experience dating violence, and 50% of sexual assaults happen before the age of 18. These are not just statistics—they represent young lives impacted by trauma that often goes unaddressed.

Teen years are formative, shaping how individuals view themselves, others, and their place in the world. Investing in sexual assault prevention programs during this critical time doesn’t just help teens today—it creates ripples of change for the future. By equipping young people with the tools to recognize and prevent harm, we break cycles of violence and build safer, healthier communities.

Your donations allow us to provide free workshops, materials, and peer-led initiatives that empower students, teachers, and parents to take action. 

$20: A Social Media Post That Reaches Thousands

What can $20 do? It can fund a single social media post that educates thousands of teens on consent, boundaries, and healthy relationships. Every post is crafted to resonate with young people, offering them a safe space to learn, reflect, and share. For many, these posts are a first step toward recognizing unhealthy behaviors and seeking resources.

Your $20 isn’t just a donation—it’s a message of hope that could reach the right person at the right time.

$50: Sponsor a Peer Educator Training for an Adult Ally

$50 can provide a teacher, parent, or counselor with access to our peer educator training. Adult allies play a crucial role in creating safer environments for students, and this training equips them with the tools to support teens effectively.

With your support, we can ensure that adults are informed, empowered, and ready to make a difference in the lives of the students they work with every day.

$100: Posters for One School

$100 allows us to send a set of resource posters to a school, spreading vital messages about consent, bystander intervention, and healthy relationships throughout hallways and classrooms. These visuals serve as daily reminders and conversation starters, ensuring that the message of prevention is always present.

By sponsoring posters, you’re making sure that every student in that school is exposed to life-saving information.

$200: A Scholarship for Institute Travel

$200 can fund a travel scholarship for a student to attend our SafeBAE Summer Activist Institute. This program transforms teens into leaders, equipping them to bring consent education back to their schools and communities.

Your donation could help a student like Valerie, who attended the institute and is now pursuing a career as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), using her voice to make a tangible difference.

$500: Travel to a Conference

$500 allows our team to attend a conference, where we connect with educators, counselors, and other adult allies. These events are critical for recruiting schools, building partnerships, and ensuring our programs reach as many students as possible.

With your help, we can expand our reach and bring our message to schools and communities that need it most.

Why Donations Matter More Than Ever

In recent years, government funding for sexual violence prevention programs has seen significant cuts, leaving schools and communities with fewer resources to address this critical issue. For organizations like SafeBAE, this means that the work we do—providing free workshops, resources, and peer-led education—relies almost entirely on the generosity of donors.

Over 90% of our workshops are offered to schools at no cost, ensuring that every student, no matter their school’s budget, can access the tools they need to create safer communities. But this work isn’t possible without you.

Every dollar you give helps us bridge the gap, ensuring that students, teachers, and parents have access to the education and support they need to prevent sexual violence. Together, we can continue offering these life-changing programs to those who need them most.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

Every donation, no matter the amount, has the power to create safer schools and communities for teens across the country. By supporting SafeBAE, you’re not just contributing to an organization—you’re investing in a future where respect, boundaries, and consent are the norm.

Your generosity ensures that we can continue providing free resources, peer-led training, and educational programs that change lives. Help us reach even more students, teachers, and parents with the tools they need to prevent sexual violence and foster a culture of safety and support.
