When is the best time to donate?
Any time is a good time to donate — our programs respond to urgent requests year round, and consistent support helps us plan effectively.
A few tips to maximize your impact:
Consider a recurring donation: Monthly or quarterly gifts help us forecast resources and make long-term commitments to governments and communities. Even a small recurring donation provides more planning certainty than a larger one-time gift, allowing us to deploy programs strategically and maximize impact.
For U.S. donors: If you want to claim your donation on this year's taxes, contribute by December 31. AEquitas is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and donations are tax-deductible within U.S. law guidelines. Keep your donation receipt as your official record.
Maximize your impact: Invest in proven strategies, skills, and expert assistance that positively change outcomes for victims and survivors.
We’ve got the evidence, the data, and the expertise to deliver the most impact for the lowest cost—but we need your support to make it happen. Together, we can change the story for victims and survivors of sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and human trafficking.
