Overview

Mission

To stop sexual violence and its impact through support, education and advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2023

The center provides support services to survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones through a 24-hour help line, crisis counseling, therapy, support groups, workshops, and advocacy services. Advocates support survivors and their loved ones to access legal remedies, safety planning, financial and housing assistance, and other supports to help survivors achieve their educational, employment, and life goals. All services are confidential and free of charge. The center co-coordinates the orange county domestic violence and sexual assault response committee (dvsarc), which includes representatives from local law enforcement, the district attorney's office, medical providers, victim advocates from partner agencies, and staff from the local university. The dvsarc works collaboratively to improve system-wide response services for survivors of sexual violence in orange county. The center also offers educational programs for raising awareness about sexual violence and teaching prevention skills, reaching thousands of youth and adults each year with crucial safety information.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.

The verdict

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