What Your Safe Place Foundation does

Your Safe Place Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable foundation (Tax ID 83-3629308) headquartered at 8030 La Mesa Blvd #23, La Mesa, California. The foundation functions as the dedicated fundraising and financial-support arm of the Your Safe Place - San Diego Family Justice Center, channeling charitable contributions toward a co-located, one-stop service hub for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, strangulation, and older or dependent adult abuse.

Direct peers

• National Domestic Violence Hotline: National 24/7 crisis hotline and resource referral service for domestic violence survivors. Directly comparable to Your Safe Place Foundation as a primary point of contact and service navigator for DV survivors across the U.S.
• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): The largest anti-sexual violence organization in the U.S., operating the National Sexual Assault Hotline and funding survivor support services. Comparable because it serves overlapping survivor populations (sexual assault, trafficking) and operates as a fundraising-and-referral backbone.
• Family Justice Center Alliance: The national alliance that defines and supports the Family Justice Center model — the exact co-located, multi-agency service architecture Your Safe Place Foundation supports. Direct strategic and operational peer.

Broad incumbents

• YWCA USA: National nonprofit operating a network of local YWCAs, many of which provide DV shelters, hotlines, and survivor services. A broader incumbent with overlapping mission but much larger geographic and program scale.

Emerging players

• Break the Cycle: National nonprofit focused on ending dating violence and DV among youth and young adults. Comparable as a DV-focused organization with an educational and direct-service mission, though narrower demographic focus.

Regional players

• Jewish Family Service of San Diego: San Diego-based social services nonprofit offering counseling, case management, and family support. A local social-services peer with overlapping client populations and geographic footprint.
• Safe Horizon: New York City's largest victim services nonprofit, providing DV, sexual assault, and trafficking support through co-located programs. Operates a comparable co-location model in a different geography.
• Sanctuary for Families: New York-based nonprofit providing comprehensive DV and trafficking services including shelter, legal, and counseling. Comparable service mix (wraparound legal, counseling, immigration) in a different region.
