Artemis Center

What Artemis Center does

Artemis Center is a private nonprofit organization headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, that has provided domestic and sexual violence survivor services since its 1985 founding as Artemis House. The agency operates as the designated provider of Montgomery County's 24/7 domestic violence hotline, delivering crisis intervention, personalized safety planning, legal-system navigation, community education, and ongoing advocacy and support — all at no cost to clients. Since 1985 it has served more than 140,000 victims and their children, and it anchors The Family Violence Collaborative, a 1993 multi-agency coordination body that brings together law enforcement, criminal justice, child protection, and healthcare professionals around standardized response protocols.

The organization's service model is human-delivered and place-based, with no proprietary technology platform, SaaS product, or API offering. The technology footprint consists of a WordPress website (artemiscenter.org), a phone hotline at (937) 461-HELP, a 'Chat Now' web interface, and social media presence on Facebook, X, and Instagram. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the downtown Dayton office at 310 West Monument Avenue and the 24/7 hotline, with geographic reach concentrated in Montgomery County and the broader Miami Valley region of Ohio.

Revenue mechanics are consistent with a community-based nonprofit: free services to survivors, funded through a mix of county contracts (notably the hotline designation), state and federal grants, United Way and institutional support, board-affiliated organizational giving, individual donations, and community fundraising events such as the Peacekeeper Awards. Governance is provided by a volunteer board drawing representatives from regional institutions including Premier Health, Synchrony Financial, Key Bank, Northwestern Mutual, Thompson Hine, the City of Dayton Police Department, and Montgomery County. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 employee band; no revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• YWCA Dayton: Dayton-headquartered nonprofit providing direct domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking services including shelter, advocacy, and a 24/7 crisis line. Most direct local peer; competes for the same survivor population, county funding, and donor base in Montgomery County.
• National Domestic Violence Hotline: National nonprofit operating the leading 24/7 DV hotline (call, chat, text) serving survivors across the U.S. Direct peer in crisis-line service delivery; represents the national alternative that absorbs demand beyond Artemis's local catchment.
• House of Ruth (Maryland): Mid-Atlantic nonprofit providing 24/7 DV hotlines, shelter, counseling, legal clinic, and community education. Strong functional peer to Artemis in service mix, with a longer-running case-management model Artemis could emulate as it scales beyond crisis intervention.

Regional players

• Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN): Statewide coalition of Ohio DV service providers offering training, technical assistance, and policy advocacy. Comparable as a peer/supporter of front-line DV agencies in Ohio; not a direct service competitor but operates in the same delivery ecosystem.
• Family Violence Prevention Services (San Antonio): Texas-based nonprofit providing emergency DV shelter, crisis hotline, counseling, and youth services in Bexar County. Highly comparable operating model to Artemis at a regional scale in a different geography, with similar reliance on local government and community partnerships.
• Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley: Dayton/Miami Valley-based social services nonprofit offering counseling, family support, and immigration services in the same geography as Artemis. Adjacent social-services peer competing for the same donor, volunteer, and county-contract pool rather than for direct DV services.

Broad incumbents

• National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV): National social-change organization serving as a leading voice on DV policy, technology, and resources for state coalitions and local programs. Comparable as a back-office and advocacy counterpart that shapes the operating environment for local DV agencies like Artemis.
• National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV): National grassroots nonprofit working to end domestic violence through public education, advocacy, and resource development. Shares Artemis's public-education and awareness mission at a national scale rather than delivering direct crisis services.
• Safe Horizon: New York-based large nonprofit providing DV and sexual-assault hotlines, shelters, counseling, and advocacy. A larger direct-service counterpart whose program mix (hotline + shelter + counseling) closely parallels Artemis's service stack, and whose scale and digital offering benchmark Artemis's potential.

Emerging players

• Break the Cycle / love is respect: National nonprofit focused on preventing dating abuse and intimate-partner violence among young people through education, peer programming, and digital tools. Comparable to Artemis's education and teen programming components, with a tech-enabled twist.
