Watch our FY23 Wrap Up Video

Thank you to our supporters for helping Resilience achieve so much in Fiscal Year 2023! With your help, we served over 1,400 survivors of sexual violence in Chicago.

Through all our programs and services, we connected with our community to empower survivors and end sexual violence. As we begin the new fiscal year, we look forward to even more success. Resilience thanks our incredible volunteers, Board of Directors, Associate Board, partners, donors, and supporters. We also send all our gratitude to our staff. Without all of your tireless work and dedication, none of this would be possible. Every day your steadfast support brings us closer to ending sexual violence. Here’s to even more empowerment in fiscal year 2024!
