What it reported doing in 2024
Sexual Assault Support Services: The Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) program of the YWCA of Hawai'i Island provides sexual assault services across the island, with offices in Hilo (East Hawai'i) and Kona (West Hawai'i). Services are for the healing and prevention of sexual violence, with a goal to reduce the incidence of sexual assault and disability to those who have been victimized. The SASS program is a community resource in it's fourth decade of helping victims of sexual assault who are men, women, girls and boys, their families, friends and loved ones. Services include the only 24 hour sexual assault support hotline on Hawaii island, crisis response, advocacy, intervention, clinical services and management of the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) program for the County of Hawaii. SASS program services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via the sexual assault support hotline to the entire island. Face to face, crisis response, advocacy and intervention services are available in the cities of Hilo and Kona, on the East and West sides of the island; as are coordination of Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations (SAFE). Clinical services are provided in the cities of Hilo and Kona. Individuals living in the northern and southern parts of the island are encouraged to travel to the offices for needed and desired services. This funding, combined with all funding for the program, allowed the program to provide services 24/7 for victims of sexual assault on Hawaii Island. During this time frame, we responded to and created 149 cases from 230 phone calls to the crisis line. As a result of those calls, an additional 931 calls were made to coordinate services and 126 of those cases received follow-up calls and care. 44% of the cases were under the age of 17 with 40% of those cases below the age of 12. 108 of the cases dealt with the victim themselves and 18 of the cases provided services for a secondary victim (family member, significant other). Of the clients who disclosed information about their case, 79% of victims knew their offender. We were also able to provide 2,050 hours of therapy to survivors. All services are at no cost to the victim/survivor or their families. We started offering strangulation services to victims of domestic violence.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
