NEW! JDI’s 2025 Annual Report: Clarity and Alignment in an Uncertain Time

During a year in which the funding landscape became tenuous, and harmful rhetoric and policy sought to undermine vital survivor services, JDI re-affirmed its mission and values. Alongside our coalition membership, and collaborators across the nation, we stood firmly in our purpose, turning collective power into action.

We are so proud of where we are today and so grateful to the member programs, survivors, partners, funders, donors, and community members who continue to bring their time, expertise, resources, courage, and care to this work. Read more here.

JDI’s 2021 Annual Report: How does JDI measure a year? 
Coalition work, reach, and impact can be hard to measure. To us, it came down to 3 words: Advocate, Collaborate and Innovate. In this year’s annual report, we lay out how your support and engagement fueled our day to day, minute by minute, work to advocate for change, to collaborate with our membership, government systems, and new partners, and to innovate our work to address sexual assault and domestic violence in the context of the concurrent pandemics of COVID-19 and anti-Blackness.

How does JDI use my financial contributions?
Charitable contributions to JDI support JDI’s policy and systems advocacy; membership engagement and field support; training, collective learning and practice improvement; and movement leadership and coalition building.

JDI boasts a diversified funding structure that includes both public and private investment. Public funding has long served as the foundation for our technical assistance and training programming, as well as our generation of reports and resources. Dues payments from our coalition members power our policy and budget advocacy.

Private funding allows us to be nimble and responsive to the needs of survivors and advocates across Massachusetts. Contributions from individual donors, whether through ticket sales and fund-a-need contributions at our annual Spring Into Action event or through year-end or workplace giving gifts, allow JDI to be innovative and forward-thinking. We envision a Massachusetts – and a world – where individuals and communities who have experienced violence do not merely survive, but thrive.

Special note on Donors Rights
JDI adheres to the standards of the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Donor Bill of Rights, If you have any questions regarding our use of funds, confidentiality, or other organizational matters, please contact us at 617-557-1806 or e-mail us. 

How else can people support JDI’s work?
JDI needs your financial support as well as your active support. You can give your time and expertise to help advance JDI’s legislative and budget initiatives as well as public awareness and social change efforts. In addition, JDI’s member programs rely heavily on volunteers for direct services, support, operations and other important functions. 

Who funds Jane Doe Inc.’s member programs?
JDI does not provide direct funding to our member programs. However, one of JDI’s key functions is to advocate for state and federal funding for local services and programs. Government funding is a substantial and critical part of resources that support local services of our members, but it isn’t enough. 

Just like JDI itself, our members need philanthropic support of individual donors, groups, corporations, and foundations. Each member is an independent non-profit and responsible for its own fundraising. Less than 50% of local services are paid for with state budget funding.

JDI is committed to generating more public and private resources for all of our members and the field as a whole. JDI operates with due diligence to avoid donor conflicts and from a position that reflects respect and support for and promotion of local program donor development efforts.
