Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence

What Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence does

Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence (OAESV) is Ohio's designated statewide rape crisis coalition, operating as a 501(c)-style private nonprofit headquartered in Independence, Ohio, with a staff of 11-50. The organization functions as the central coordinating body for Ohio's anti-sexual violence movement, providing training, technical assistance, program evaluation, and accreditation to 31 member rape crisis centers that collectively serve survivors in 75 of Ohio's 88 counties. Its service portfolio spans a 24/7 statewide helpline (844-OHIO-HELP), a virtual legal clinic with attorney office hours, coordinated community response team support, campus programming, a meaningful access housing program, primary prevention programming, and survivor-led initiatives including the Survivor Empowerment & Advisory Council (SEAC). OAESV also develops and maintains the Ohio Core Rape Crisis Standards, originally published in 2013 and revised in 2016 and 2022, which define the quality framework for community-based rape crisis services statewide.

OAESV's business model is a nonprofit grant-and-donation hybrid rather than a commercial revenue model. The organization is funded primarily through federal grants from the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice (Grant No. 15JOVW-24-GG-00972-MUMU), with additional state funding channeled through the Ohio Attorney General's Office and the Ohio Governor's office. Secondary revenue streams include charitable donations processed via a dedicated donation manager and membership dues from member rape crisis centers, which receive access to a member portal hosting training resources, a digital resource library, and event registration. All direct services to survivors and community members are provided free of charge; there is no pricing model, tiered subscriptions, or fee-for-service offering. Operational technology is limited to a website, a coalitionmanager.org member portal, donation processing, email newsletter infrastructure (Constant Contact), and social media channels — the organization does not develop proprietary technology products.

The organization's go-to-market motion is community-led: it engages survivors and advocates through a statewide helpline, virtual legal clinic office hours, community events, and direct website traffic, while flagship in-person events — the annual Conference (June) and Advocacy Day at the Ohio Statehouse (April, ongoing since 2013) — serve as primary community-building and policy engagement touchpoints. Leadership is led by President & CEO Rosa Beltré, with a functional team spanning Directors of Prevention & Public Health, Coordinated Community Responses, and Programming & Member Engagement, alongside specialized coordinators in legal advocacy, training and technical assistance, and survivor-led initiatives.
