But Child Sexual Abuse affects the lives of millions of children every year in the U.S.

You long for a world where every child grows up in a safe, thriving community.

When a violent problem is addressed with violent solutions, the root of the problem is never healed. So the cycle continues — because harm not transformed is harm transferred. 

The way we currently deal with Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) makes ending it impossible.

90% of those children know the person who caused them harm.

This keeps you up at night. It keeps us up at night, too.

But it doesn't have to continue. Child Sexual Abuse is not inevitable.

We need funding that’s willing to work outside of the box and go directly to the communities most impacted. 

We need ideas centered on survivors and rooted in community wisdom and healing. 

It can be prevented. We just need to think about it differently.

Let's build a bridge between the two.

Right now, the grassroots organizers with the ideas and the funders with the resources don’t know each other, but what if they did? How many lives could be protected and restored, now and for future generations?

Just Beginnings Collaborative – the bridge between the bold ideas and the vital funds

We know what organizers and funders need, and we know how to work with each other. Together let’s end Child Sexual Abuse.

You have a track record of solving big issues with your resources. But CSA seems inevitable and the solution feels elusive. You’re not ready to throw in the towel yet, but you’re frustrated.

Are you a visionary funder?

Are you a grassroots organizer?

Imagine a world where Child Sexual Abuse ends because the right people are in lockstep with each other.
