Let's be real. Real stories. Real people. Real needs. Real supporters. InterAct

Let's be real.

Every day, InterAct fights for the vulnerable people who come to us seeking safety, support, and a path forward.

We are acutely aware of the uncertainties that loom around federal grant funding—there are many answers that we don’t have.

Yet we are expanding our offerings to meet a growing need for therapeutic services, financial literacy training, and safe and stable housing.

Reality demands action.

You can offer real help as InterAct saves lives, rebuilds lives, and secures safer futures.

You can send a donation now, wait until the next fiscal year, make a pledge to pay later, or become a sustaining donor with gifts we can count on every month. You can help build a firm foundation no matter what the future holds.

To discuss options or make a pledge, please contact Walker Mabe, InterAct Chief Development Officer, at walkerm@interactofwake.org or (919) 865-1761.

Sexual violence, which targets individuals of all genders and ages, encompasses any non-consensual sexual contact, ranging from verbal to physical coercion. Its prevalence is perpetuated by societal norms endorsing violence, power imbalances, and entrenched gender roles. Prevention necessitates unified efforts spanning communities, advocating for respect, safety, equality, and support across diverse settings.

We can stop sexual assault, harassment, and abuse before they happen.

Have questions about sexual assault? Visit InterAct’s services page to learn how it can be there for you, or someone you know.
