MISSION
Inspire and reinforce a message of hope, advocating and raising awareness for survivors of sexual violence every step of their journey.
VISION
We see a future where survivors receive the advocacy, resources and support they need to safely reclaim their power, their voice, and their strength when they have endured sexual violence or experienced human sex trafficking at any level. Through training and awareness, we plan to shift societal viewpoints and eradicate the stigma surrounding sexual violence and those who have survived.
IMPACT
Raindrops Rising keeps detailed client analytics for every survivor who contacts our organization in crisis. The measure of our impact however, is so much more than numbers.
Impact is measured by the calls from other organizations in the same field wondering if they can refer to us, because they understand we’re trauma informed and survivor ran. Our impact is measured by the reactions we get in classrooms when we present awareness material to professionals who had no concept of the problem or its severity. Impact is measured by the faces of community members we meet at resourcing events, beaming because there’s someone there to help.
Raindrops Rising measures our impact in the lives we have touched, the stories we have told, and the lessons we have taught.
