Overview

Mission

As the only agency in Rhode Island organized specifically to deal with issue of sexual assault as a community concern, day one's mission is to reduce the prevalence of sexual abuse and violence, and to support and advocate for those affected by it. Day one provides clinical, advocacy, prevention education, and professional training services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Prevention education and professional training - at the core of day one's prevention education efforts is programming for school age children and college age young adults. Each year, day one reaches thousands of k-12 students with workshops focused on sexual abuse awareness and prevention; interpersonal violence awareness and prevention; healthy relationships; and dating violence. Bringing together every college and university in the state, the cross-campus collaborative meets monthly to share learning and exchange best practices for sexual violence prevention on college campuses. Last year, our educators presented over 100 interactive sessions and workshops at schools around the state, reaching a total of 1,385 students, parents, faculty, and staff. Our focus in 2024 was on developing and providing more community-based prevention education programs. On a larger scale, day one conducts an intensive public awareness campaign each april to educate the general public about sexual violence. Coinciding with sexual assault awareness month, the campaign reaches tens of thousands across the state with messaging on billboards, and through radio and print ads. Through our professional training program, day one advocates and educators provide training to thousands of legal, medical, and law enforcement professionals each year. With a goal of improving services to victims of sexual assault, training focuses on victim-centered law enforcement advocacy, trauma-informed sexual assault response, and human trafficking, specifically the exploitation of children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 69% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
