Since 2001, Take Back The Night has been a 501(c)3 publicly funded charity with the mission of ending sexual violence in all forms and lending support to survivors. The grassroots efforts over the last thirty years in the form of marches and rallies around the world, flown under the banner of Take Back the Night, are the energy and spirit behind our mission! The Board of Advisors serves to guide and shape our initiatives and bring vision and experience to our endeavors.
The purpose of the national foundation is not to dampen the spirit of creativity of individuals and grassroots initiatives, but rather to provide greater national and international visibility for Take Back The Night’s mission. We provide assistance with organization, planning, sponsorship, supplies and other forms of support to Take Back The Night Events and Initiatives around the globe.

Some local events may choose to post their event's information on the TBTN Calendar, however local events are not required to register with the TBTN Foundation. If you need more information about a local event, please contact the local event organizer directly. The TBTN Foundation does not maintain and does not have access to information about local events.

Our international foundation receives charitable donations that we use to help local, grassroots Take Back The Night Events that have demonstrated that they meet the health, safety and legal guidelines as listed in our Guidebook. We are thrilled to provide access to support, media assistance, supplies, shirts, banners, candles and presenters for as many events as possible!

The Event Guidebook was released on November 1, 2009. It was the result of thoughtful input by our Board of Advisors, those who have planned and participated in TBTN events, legal counsel and insurance representatives who oversee our Foundation activities. Descriptions of the elements of Take Back the Night events throughout history, the role of men, the role of survivors, feminist theory, chants, fire safety considerations for candlelight vigils, governmental and campus regulations for rallies and marches, considerations for providing support to survivors, and much more are included in this resource.
