SAVE FUND DONATIONS
Help lessen a victim's burden through a donation to the
Sexual Assault Victims' Emergency Medical Response (SAVE) Fund
WHY DONATE TO THE SAVE FUND?
The time immediately following a sexual assault is often terrifying, embarrassing, and confusing for victims. The weighty decision of whether to report and have a sexual assault exam is enough of a burden on a victim, without wondering how to pay for needed services. The SAVE Fund allows the medical exam to be conducted at no cost to the victim.
The SAVE Fund relies on your generous contributions in order to provide this service to victims of sexual assault in Oregon. No tax dollars support this critical need. Over 800 victims in Oregon have asked providers to utilize the SAVE Fund for payment of needed services since March 2004. Thank you in advance for your generosity and compassion.
One hundred percent of your donation goes toward the cost of a sexual assault medical exam.
