SEEN, HEARD, SUPPORTED
2026 Fall Fundraising Campaign
Every person deserves a faith community equipped to prevent and respond well to abuse. This year, GRACE's Fall Fundraiser theme is Seen, Heard, Supported because every survivor deserves to feel just that. Together, we can build a future where every faith community is a true place of healing.
How you can be a part of creating safer faith communities:
This is a "Friends-Asking-Friends" Fundraiser where we are asking you to partner with us. By collectively raising $120,000, you can help GRACE provide essential resources and services for churches, ministries, and schools that incorporate the latest research and center the voices of survivors.
When you sign up to be a fundraiser, you get your own personal fundraising page where you'll be able to help GRACE raise money and awareness by inviting your friends, family, and social networks to join you in making a real impact.
It's a meaningful and easy way to support a cause you care about, and it works just like other online fundraising campaigns you may have seen. You can set a personal goal, share your story, and track your progress in real-time.
Not in a place where you feel ready to be a fundraiser? That’s alright! We invite you to still be a part of creating safer faith communities by donating directly to GRACE as either a one-time giver or a monthly donor. Every dollar counts!
Every Dollar Counts!

Jenna Quinn: Live Keynote Address
Join us for an inspiring evening with Jenna Quinn, a survivor and renowned advocate, speaker, and namesake of Jenna’s Law. Passed unanimously in Texas in 2009, Jenna’s Law was the first child sexual abuse prevention education mandate in the U.S named after a survivor requiring K-12 sexual abuse prevention for students, school staff, and caregivers. Now, over half the country has adopted legislation reflecting the principals of Jenna’s Law, including federal legislation passed called, “The Jenna Quinn Law.” Jenna is also the founder of Reveal To Heal International nonprofit. She serves on several boards and committees and is currently serving on one of Texas Governor Abbott's Task Forces. She has participated in both local and international radio, television, and news programs, including Glamour Magazine, CBN, CNN, and our United States Senate.
How your support makes a difference: 5 Key Areas of Impact
The funds from the Seen, Heard, Supported Campaign will be applied towards five key areas of impact.
We believe that by equipping leaders, training advocates, establishing safe policies, breaking down language barriers, and empowering survivors, we can create a foundation of healing from the ground up. Your support in these five areas helps create a safer, responsive environment for everyone.
-
Simulated Case Trainings
GRACE's C.A.R.E. (Case Analysis, Response, and Evaluation) Simulation Training will be a rigorous, four-day program designed for denominational or local ministry leaders to prepare for a cohesive, effective, and trauma-informed abuse response. Funds from the Seen, Heard, Supported Campaign will help develop this realistic, interactive training.
-
Safeguarding Translations
Translated safeguarding materials are essential to remove barriers that can prevent vulnerable individuals and families from receiving help. Funds from this campaign will go towards our Safeguarding Translations initiative, which focuses on translating core resources—such as training slides, model policies, survivor resources, and child safety guides—into Spanish.
-
Survivor Toolkit & Support
Healing from abuse is complex and often isolating. With funds raised from the Seen, Heard, Supported Campaign, GRACE will develop critical, survivor-centered support—from resources and practical guidance to dedicated, compassionate one-on-one calls. Your generous contribution will help create lasting tools for safety and recovery, plus fund ongoing direct survivor care calls.
-
Empowering Advocates
Advocacy plays an integral role in a survivor's healing process, offering powerful tools and a supportive presence on a survivor’s unique journey. Funding from this campaign will help develop a program to train compassionate leaders with specific skills like trauma-informed listening, non-judgmental support, and ethical boundaries.
-
Policy Systems Development
Good policies are a critical piece of abuse prevention and response. Although policies do not, in themselves, protect people, they are a way to set clear standards for healthy and safe conduct, reporting procedures, accountability, and abuse response. Funds from this campaign will help GRACE develop systems that will make large-scale policy review and development more accessible for all churches.
