An endowment is a permanent pool of funds raised from multiple donors that are invested for long-term growth to provide a steady stream of income for NOVA’s work forever. When you donate to NOVA’s endowment, your contribution is added to others that together generate interest that provides funding for NOVA’s core operations every year. By donating to our endowment, you ensure your contribution will be multiplied many times over and continue to be relevant for years to come. NOVA needs your help now to secure our future tomorrow.

Barbara P. Clark Endowment Fund

Under Barbara Clark’s leadership as Executive Director, NOVA evolved from a small nonprofit to a significantly larger, nationally recognized victim services organization. Barbara Clark’s legacy is a strong and vibrant crime victim support agency and rape crisis center for the Bucks County community. Your support, to the fund named in her honor, is your commitment to keeping these essential services available for future generations.

The Barbara P. Clark Endowment Fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding. An endowment fund grows and provides support for its designated purpose in perpetuity. Gifts to the endowment fund can be cash, stocks, securities or planned gifts such as: life insurance policies, gift annuities, estate plan gifts, Charitable Remainder Trusts, etc.

Join us on April 30, 2025 to show your support for survivors of sexual violence and end victim blaming.

We invite you to join us in raising awareness about this critical issue and making a meaningful impact during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. 

Here’s how your organization can get involved: 

1. Wear Denim & Donate: Invite employees to wear denim on April 30 and contribute a donation to support NOVA’s programs and services. Donations can be collected on-site and picked up by a NOVA staff member or made directly through our website or venmo (@NOVABucks).  
2. Spread Awareness: Share information about denim day, and post photos of participating employees in denim on social media. Be sure to tag us so we can share your efforts!
3. Alternative Support: If wearing denim isn’t an option for your employees, we can provide teal ribbon pins to show support – suggested donation for each ribbon is $2.00.

All donations directly support NOVA’s mission to Support Victims and Stop Violence. As a thank you for your participation, your organization will receive a social media shoutout for participating and helping to raise awareness. 

If your organization would like to participate, please reach out to Sara Lipski, Marketing & Community Engagement Coordinator, at sara.lipski@novabucks.org.

Your participation in Denim Day sends a powerful message of solidarity, awareness, and hope to victim and survivors in our community. Together, we can take a stand, spark conversations, and create a future free from sexual violence.
