National Alliance to End Sexual Violence

What National Alliance to End Sexual Violence does

The National Alliance to End Sexual Violence (NAESV) is a private nonprofit policy advocacy organization that serves as the national voice in Washington for 56 state and territorial sexual assault coalitions and approximately 1,000 to 1,500 rape crisis centers across the United States. NAESV does not provide direct services to survivors; instead, it operates as a coordination and advocacy layer, influencing federal, state, and local policy on sexual violence prevention and survivor support, and working to secure and defend funding streams such as VOCA, SASP, FVPSA, RPE, PHHSBG, and OFVPS for its member coalitions and centers.

NAESV's core offerings are informational and advocacy resources rather than software products. The portfolio includes a Resource Directory of PDFs, PowerPoints, and videos on topics such as FVPSA funding, American Rescue Plan relief, and housing needs of survivors; the Sexual Assault Coalition Network, an interactive directory mapping all 56 state and territorial coalitions; advocacy tools and federal program fact sheets; the Empower & Educate toolkit (English and Spanish); the Housing & Sexual Assault Toolkit; and a password-protected Sexual Assault Coalition Resource Portal providing tiered technical assistance to coalition staff. The organization also publishes a 2024 NAESV survey quantifying demand pressure across local programs (58% reporting increased demand, 20% with therapy waitlists), which functions as recurring primary research to anchor policy asks.

NAESV is funded through donations from individuals, foundations, and organizations; it does not charge for its services and has no disclosed commercial revenue. The organization is headquartered in Washington, D.C. (655 15th Street NW Suite 800) and operates under fiscal sponsorship with Raliance, using a Chantilly, Virginia mailing address (PO Box 220501, Chantilly, VA 20153). Named leadership disclosed in the source data is limited to Policy Director Terri Poore. Distribution occurs through the NAESV website (endsexualviolence.org), email newsletter, and social media channels on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): RAINN is the largest anti-sexual-violence organization in the US, operating the National Sexual Assault Hotline and public advocacy. It competes with NAESV for donor mindshare and federal attention in the same survivor-services and prevention space.
• National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC): NSVRC provides resource development, training, and awareness on sexual violence prevention, overlapping directly with NAESV's resource directory and toolkits. Both serve coalitions and allied professionals across the same survivor-services ecosystem.
• National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV): NNEDV is the parallel national advocacy umbrella for domestic violence coalitions and shelters, mirroring NAESV's role for sexual assault. Both organizations pursue federal funding advocacy, coalition coordination, and policy influence on overlapping survivor populations.
• Futures Without Violence: Futures Without Violence operates at the intersection of domestic violence, sexual violence, and child/youth advocacy, providing training, policy advocacy, and resource development. Highly comparable mission and stakeholder overlap with NAESV.
• ValorUS (formerly CALCASA): ValorUS is the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, a state-level coalition within NAESV's network. Operates a comparable prevention and resource-development model and is one of NAESV's 56 coalition members.
• Joyful Heart Foundation: Joyful Heart Foundation focuses on healing, advocacy, and policy reform around sexual assault, family violence, and child abuse. Comparable scope of national advocacy and resource provision targeting the same survivor populations as NAESV.

Broad incumbents

• Prevent Child Abuse America: Prevent Child Abuse America runs state chapter networks analogous to NAESV's coalition model, with similar federal policy advocacy and resource distribution approaches. Comparable structure even though the focus is child maltreatment.
• National Center for Victims of Crime: NCVC advocates for victims' rights and broader crime victims' services, including sexual assault. Its wider mandate (all victim types) overlaps with NAESV's federal funding advocacy at VOCA and OVW.
• Raliance: Raliance is NAESV's fiscal sponsor and a national sexual violence prevention funder and advocate. While not a direct competitor, Raliance operates upstream in funding and strategy for the same field, making it a structurally important counterpart.

Regional players

• Aurora Center for Advocacy and Education: Aurora Center is a regional sexual assault resource and advocacy center operating in Minnesota, comparable to the rape crisis centers within NAESV's ecosystem. Represents the downstream local service-providing tier that NAESV advocates for.
