Taylor Swift is a woman of her word.
After vowing to help those survivors of sexual assault following her victory in court earlier this week, the 27-year-old singer made a donation to actress Mariska Hargitay's Joyful Heart Foundation.

?Taylor is aware of the Joyful Heart Foundation and follows our work,? Maile M. Zambuto, CEO of the Joyful Heart Foundation, told the Huffington Post on Wednesday. ?Her team got in touch with me and we talked a lot about her commitment, all along throughout this ordeal, to wanting to be of service to survivors.?

Zambuto would not reveal how much Swift gave to the organization but did note that it was an ?extremely generous financial investment in the movement to end sexual violence.?
Hargitay also praised the GRAMMY winner for her contribution. "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," she said in a statement.

The Law & Order SVU star founded the Joyful Heart Foundation in 2004, and since then the organization has been working to help "transform society?s response to sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse, support survivors? healing, and end this violence forever," according to its website.
Swift is both a fan of friend of Hargitay's, and even named one of her cats after the 53-year-old actress' Law & Order character, Olivia.
