How does JDI use my financial contributions?
Charitable contributions to JDI support education, organizing and prevention initiatives, research and analysis, public policy and system advocacy, membership engagement and capacity building, as well as to support the operational needs to fulfill JDI’s mission. 

Giving to JDI has an exponential impact. Your gift allows us to have a broad reach and deep impact as we effectuate change and help ensure that best practices are adopted by systems, services, and responses statewide. 

When you make a tax-deductible gift to JDI, you demonstrate your commitment to social justice and to safety and liberty for all victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence throughout the Commonwealth. Your contribution is an investment; it makes communities safer as it increases the chances for saving and improving the lives of countless individuals and families.

How else can people support JDI’s work?
JDI needs your financial support as well as your active support. You can give your time and expertise to help advance JDI’s legislative and budget initiatives as well as public awareness and social change efforts. In addition, JDI’s member programs rely heavily on volunteers for direct services, support, operations and other important functions. 

Who funds Jane Doe Inc.’s member programs?
JDI does not provide direct funding to our member programs. However, one of JDI’s key functions is to advocate for state and federal funding for local services and programs. Government funding is a substantial and critical part of resources that support local services of our members, but it isn’t enough. 

Just like JDI itself, our members need philanthropic support of individual donors, groups, corporations, and foundations. Each member is an independent non-profit and responsible for its own fundraising. Less than 50% of local services are paid for with state budget funding.  

JDI is committed to generating more public and private resources for all of our members and the field as a whole. JDI operates with due diligence to avoid donor conflicts and from a position that reflects respect and support for and promotion of local program donor development efforts.
