FLOODLIT has published over 4,130 reports of sexual abuse in the Mormon church. Every single one relies on court documents, news articles, police reports or academic journals as sources.
We are constantly striving to shine a fair, accurate, unrelenting light on an extremely difficult subject. We’re also working to help survivors heal.
UPDATE Jan. 22 – We remain in urgent need of funds to keep Floodlit’s lights on. As a two-person independent newsroom, we depend completely on your generous support in order to continue our work. We don’t have steady income. We are up many nights past dawn working on this database.
Our dream for 2026 is to be fully funded so we can both work together full-time on Floodlit and finally get caught up on our backlog of over 1,000 more cases we have learned about. Any amount is greatly appreciated!
Your donations enable us to obtain court documents, communicate with survivors and publish case reports.
We CANNOT do this without you.
If you’ve donated before, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and please share Floodlit with a friend! – Jane and Charlie
