Alice Paul House

What Alice Paul House does

Alice Paul House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded on March 1, 1981, in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, providing direct services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, other serious crimes, and juvenile-related offenses. Its core service platform centers on a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter for victims and their children (under 18), empowerment counseling (individual and group), on-call advocacy in legal and medical settings, Protection from Abuse Order assistance, and Victim Compensation Assistance — all delivered at no cost to clients. The organization also operates county-wide school prevention and awareness programming from preschool through 12th grade and offers a portfolio of evidence-based curricula (Guiding Good Choices, Beyond Trauma, Seeking Safety, Coaching Boys into Men, and similar).

Operationally, Alice Paul House is a small, mature, single-county non-profit (11–50 employees) organized around a C-suite (CEO, COO, CFO, Chief Program Officer) and functional directorate covering grants, education, advocacy, and 24-hour operations. Its revenue model is donations-based: individual charitable contributions, memorial/honor gifts, a Capital Campaign targeting $500,000 for facility fit-out, and a Brick Fundraising Campaign, with PayPal as the online payment rail. The organization is structurally embedded in Pennsylvania's victim-services infrastructure through membership in the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV) and the Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect (PCAR), and shares office space with United Way of Indiana County, providing referral integration with the 211 system and the National Domestic Violence Hotline. It does not operate as a technology product company; its intellectual surface area is human-delivered trauma-informed advocacy and standardized curricula, not software or AI systems.
