Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center

What Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center does

Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center, operating as NORA (Nurture, Outreach, Resiliency, and Advocacy), is a California-registered nonprofit founded in 1973 and headquartered at 1845 Chicago Avenue, Suite A, Riverside, CA. The organization provides free, trauma-informed crisis support, advocacy, and prevention services to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse across the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Its service portfolio includes a 24/7 crisis hotline (951-686-7273 and toll-free 888-686-7273), in-person crisis counseling, hospital and court accompaniment, advocacy during law enforcement interviews, peer support groups, school and community prevention programs, and primary prevention education for parents and youth.

The organization's technology footprint consists of a trauma-informed crisis management system supporting hotline operations and two web properties: the corporate site at callnora.org and the Prevention Portal (portal.callnora.org), an online learning platform designed to give parents and youth tools for building resilience and maintaining healthy relationships. No mobile apps, public APIs, or proprietary AI capabilities are disclosed. Strategic delivery relies on institutional partnerships with hospitals, courts, law enforcement agencies, and schools across 50+ Inland Empire communities.

NORA is funded through a mix of individual and corporate donations, federal and state grants supporting sexual violence prevention and survivor services, and corporate sponsorships underwriting events such as the annual gala and the Riverside Hope Builders campaign on Givebutter. All survivor-facing services are provided free of charge; there is no fee-based pricing model. The organization employs between 11 and 50 staff, depends on trained advocates (including those with lived experience as survivors), and reports no parent company, venture capital backing, or institutional investor. As a non-profit, NORA is privately held and not listed on any public exchange.
