Our story…

More than 600 women are assaulted each day. We need to fight back. We need to step up.  And we need to advocate for a world where all are safe and free to live boldly and fearlessly, which is what the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation is all about.

The Foundation is working to achieve this goal by providing self-defense programs for thousands of women, and partnering with organizations that deliver educational programs promoting empowerment, providing mentorship opportunities, and challenging and undermining gender stereotypes. We believe these efforts will ultimately help reduce violence in our society.

Our inspiration? Vanessa Marcotte - a kind, compassionate, intelligent, and philanthropic young woman who was tragically killed at the age of 27 while she was out for a walk. Her senseless death fuels our continued efforts.

By joining this important cause, we can work together to make a difference. We hope you'll join our fight.
