- $470,407 spent. Prevention: In 2024, we continued our child abuse prevention education initiative which is helping to ensure evidence-based body safety programs for K-12 students. These programs not only prevent child abuse, but also help children self-identify and get connected to the services they need to support their healing journeys. kNot Today leads the Indiana Prevention Education Coalition which reached over 300,000 students with critical programs during the 2023-2024 school year.
- $86,136 spent. Restoration: kNot Today strives to provide resources, support, & funding to vetted service providers in caring for children who have experienced sexual trauma. In 2024, we provided grant funding to 4 vetted organizations who provide restorative services for children and families who have experienced sexual trauma. The programs that were funded through the grant included evidence-based therapy, a bilingual therapist, and funding for therapy for those who would otherwise be unable to afford services.
- $85,162 spent. Awareness: Child sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking is a silent epidemic in the United States. With our awareness efforts, our goal is to bring it to the publics attention so we can get ahead of abuse before it begins. In 2024, we grew our relationships with lawmakers, law enforcement, service providers, and our peers in this fight and reached over 1,000 people through speaking engagements and events.
