After winning her sexual assault and batter countersuit against radio host David Mueller, Taylor Swift is making true to her promise that she is donating lots of money to sexual assault survivors.

“I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this,” Swift said in a statement. “My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves.”

Taylor has since donated money to Mariska Hargitay’s Joyful Heart Foundation.

“I hope that Taylor’s very public experience—and her decision to speak out—not only helps empower other victims to speak up and take action, but offers them solidarity,” said Mariska. “I’m honored by her dedication and commitment to these issues, and I’m deeply grateful for her support of the Joyful Heart Foundation.”

The amount wasn’t revealed, but sources said it was an “extremely generous financial investment in the movement to end sexual violence.”
