What WEAVE does

WEAVE, Inc. is a Sacramento-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1978 that provides crisis intervention and survivor-centered support services for adult and child survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking in Sacramento County. The organization operates as Sacramento County's sole designated Rape Crisis Center and the sole provider of a 24/7 Anti-Trafficking Response Team serving child victims. WEAVE delivers its services through a diversified operational footprint that includes a 24/7 multilingual Support & Information Line (in 23+ languages), the Midtown Services Center, two confidential emergency safehouse locations, a transitional housing program, individual and group counseling (including a children's counseling program), a dedicated legal services line (WEAVE Legal), campus-based confidential advocates at California State University Sacramento and Los Rios Community College District, and prevention/education programs including a five-year RPE Coalition demonstration project. The organization has been progressively recognized for serving all genders, ages, and relationship types since formally dropping its legacy "Women Escaping a Violent Environment" acronym in 2015, and it sustains culturally-tailored programs for American Indian/Alaskan Native survivors (embedded at Sacramento Native American Health Center since 2013) and Black/African American survivors via the Healthy Black Families Collaborative, the latter developed with Blue Shield of California Foundation grant funding.

WEAVE operates without a proprietary technology platform; its capabilities are built on human-delivered, trauma-informed service delivery supported by a distributed physical and operational footprint. The organization employs more than 160 staff across programs, retail, and administration, and runs several wholly-owned operating units: WEAVE Thrift and The Thrift Store (WEAVE Bargain Center, acquired July 2018) which generate retail revenue that funds programs; WEAVE to Work (established 1999) which provides professional clothing and styling to survivors seeking employment; WEAVE Legal; and TRUE Rentals, an event space at the 1900 K Street headquarters. Distribution and outreach occur via web (weaveinc.org), email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, plus awareness campaigns for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Big Day of Giving, and on-campus advocacy.

The business model is a diversified nonprofit funding mix with no transactional revenue from service recipients: services to survivors are free regardless of documentation, gender, or ability to pay. Revenue streams include individual and corporate donations, federal/state/local government grants, foundation grants (Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California Foundation), planned and legacy giving (including endowed funds at Sacramento Region Community Foundation, charitable remainder trusts, and IRA distributions), workplace giving through United Way and Combined Federal Campaign channels, and earned retail income from two thrift stores. The customer model is community-led; go-to-market is anchored on a 24/7 support line and walk-in intake, with a referral network spanning law enforcement, healthcare (Sutter Health), education (Sac State, LRCCD), and community health providers (SNAHC). Leadership includes CEO Beth Hassett and a C-suite covering strategy, people, operations, and finance, with a recently expanded Board of Directors.
