The Compass Center

What The Compass Center does

The Compass Center, now operating as Solace, is a Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based nonprofit (501(c)(3), tax ID 39-4657833) founded in 1975 that provides crisis intervention, clinical therapy, trauma-informed healing arts, and community prevention education. The organization was formed through the merger of three local nonprofits—Compass Center, Family Service Inc, and Move to Heal—creating an integrated healing agency that serves survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, and child abuse, as well as children, youth, families, and adults seeking mental health support. Annual service volume includes 1,000+ crisis care cases, 900+ clinical therapy sessions, and 100+ healing arts participants, delivered through a 24/7 crisis hotline, walk-in services at its Brown Place headquarters, and a referral network spanning healthcare providers, schools, and social services.

The organization delivers services directly through clinical staff (11-50 employees) with no proprietary technology platform, app, or AI tooling disclosed in the source material; technology is not a stated dimension of the offering. The four core service lines—Crisis Care, Therapy Center, Healing Arts, and Community Outreach—are designed to interoperate so that clients transition between pathways without repeating intake.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through donations and tax-deductible charitable contributions, with crisis care provided at no cost to the survivor and therapy/healing arts pricing structured on ability to pay. The go-to-market is community-led: a regional referral network supplemented by direct outreach, walk-in availability, and a 24/7 crisis line. Geographic reach is limited to the Sioux Falls region, and there is no indication of multi-state expansion, enterprise customers, or contracted revenue.
