Horizon during the September 11th terrorist attacks and helped to distribute over $250 million in immediate financial assistance. In the same year Maile moved to New York City, the actress and advocate, Mariska Hargitay, moved to New York City to portray Olivia Benson in a new television series called Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Inspired by her role on the show and by the survivors of abuse who reached out to her to share their stories, Mariska founded the Joyful Heart Foundation to help survivors heal and reclaim their lives. It was through their shared commitment that Maile and Mariska joined forces. Maile transitioned from her role as a member of its Board of Directors to Executive Director in 2008 and was named Chief Executive Officer of the Joyful Heart Foundation in 2011 where she served in that role for 8 years. Under Maile’s leadership, Joyful Heart raised nearly $150 million in private funds and in-kind contributions and pro-bono services, served more than 18,500 survivors and healing professionals, connected millions of visitors to education and life-saving help through its website and social media, effected policy changes from California to New York City, launched ENDTHEBACKLOG, a campaign to eradicate the backlog of hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits sitting on shelves across the country, and produced the groundbreaking NO MORE PSA campaign, which has generated nearly 5 billion media impressions online, in print and on TV. In addition to raising hundreds of millions of dollars in philanthropic resources, Maile has worked at the intersection of social justice and entertainment, creating content to turn up the volume on issues no one wanted to talk about until recently. She produced campaigns like the NOMORE PSA campaign, the NFLSays NO MORE campaign, Hawaii Says NO MORE, End the Backlog, and Executive Produced the Emmy Award winning HBO documentary, I AM EVIDENCE. Currently, Maile is the Founder and President of Benefit Partners, a circle of changemakers who help brands, non-profits, artists, activists, collectives and movements bring more radical goodness into the world. Benefit Partners focus is on gender equity, ending domestic violence and sexual assault, criminal justice reform, and contributing to the anti-racism movement. Through Benefit Partners and in partnership with Procter & Gamble, Maile is the Executive Producer and Writer of the documentary short, I CAN’T KEEP QUIET, premiering this Spring at film festivals across the country and around the world. In addition to her role as a Founding member of NO MORE’s Executive Committee, she has served on the Boards of A Call to Men, Present Now, the Harrison Educational Foundation and is currently on the National Advisory Committee for Peace Over Violence. She is a recipient of Women’s e-News’s 21 Leaders for the 21st Century and the Administration for Children’s Services Commissioner’s Child Advocacy Awards. A survivor herself, Maile frequently shares her story to both inspire healing and galvanize change to end violence and abuse. Her personal story as a survivor is detailed in the 2009 anthology Note to Self by Andrea Buchanan available from Simon & Schuster as well as on Maile’s Huffington Post column.
