Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

What Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault does

The Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (WCADVSA) is a non-profit, non-governmental statewide coalition founded in 1984 and headquartered in Laramie, Wyoming. It serves as the central coordinating body for 24 local domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy programs spanning every Wyoming county and the Wind River Indian Reservation. Its core mission is threefold: supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking through its Legal Program (established 1998) and member program network; improving systemic responses across police, courts, and healthcare; and preventing violence through the BE THE SOLUTION campaign and community-based prevention programming.

The coalition operates a portfolio of core services including holistic civil legal representation (family law, orders of protection, immigration relief including U/T Visas and VAWA, criminal justice advocacy, education matters, housing, and employment assistance), statewide training and technical assistance (TA Office Hours, customized trainings, Executive Director Leadership Training Series), prevention and public awareness programming (BE THE SOLUTION campaign, Silent Witness Initiative, P.E.A.C.E. Awards), and policy advocacy at the Wyoming State Legislature and federal level. Its technology infrastructure is limited to its website (supporting 14 languages), the LegalServer legal assistance application platform, and SMS/text messaging capabilities.

WCADVSA's business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than revenue-generating. Services are provided free of charge to victims and survivors. Primary revenue streams include federal grants from the Office on Violence Against Women (U.S. Department of Justice), membership dues (individual, allied organization, and program tiers), and donations. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with regional representatives and operates with approximately 16 staff members. There is no parent company, private equity ownership, or venture capital involvement.
