Overview

Mission

To reduce the impact and harm of sexual violence in the communities we serve.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization carries out its mission by providing trained advocates for survivors, offering prevention education to aid in the protection of women, children and men from sexual violence, assuring that survivors of sexual violence are treated with dignity and respect and empowering individuals and communities through information, knowledge and the services available to survivors and those who care about them. The organization provides services by those specially trained to provide comprehensive care to the sexual abuse survivor, conducts a forensic examination and collection of evidence and by being an expert witness in the courtroom.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 84% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
