Empower Tehama

What Empower Tehama does

Empower Tehama is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1994 in Tehama County, California, originally as Alternatives to Violence before rebranding in March 2018. It operates as Tehama County's designated Domestic Violence Response and Rape Crisis Center, delivering a comprehensive suite of social services including 24-hour crisis hotline support, emergency shelter referrals, individual and group counseling, legal advocacy, hospital accompaniment, safety planning, and court support for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Specialized programming includes Camp HOPE (an evidence-based trauma-informed overnight camp and mentoring program for children), PROJECT RESTORE (wraparound services for young adults 18-30 with mental health, substance abuse, or legal involvement), the Perspectives Intervention Program (a 52-week court-compliant batterer intervention program with sliding-scale fees), and a teen dating violence prevention curriculum delivered through local schools. Service delivery is channeled through four physical locations — the Business Center and Child Advocacy Center in Red Bluff, the Prevention Center in Red Bluff, and the South County Center in Corning (opened January 2023) — augmented by hotline, school, and community partnerships.

The organization's underlying technology layer is described as a "social services delivery platform with crisis hotline infrastructure and evidence-based intervention programs," with no proprietary software products or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a community-based non-profit: a mix of individual and corporate donations (including network-for-good online giving and an annual "That's Amore!" fundraiser with elite sponsors such as Sierra Pacific, Heart S Ranch, and Greenville Rancheria), federal/state/local government grants and contracts, and limited sliding-scale program fees ($20 voluntary enrollment / $40-$80 court-ordered assessments for Perspectives; $10 per voluntary class). The organization runs lean, with 23 employees and substantial reliance on trained volunteers for crisis response and the annual Candlelight Walk tradition, which has drawn up to 300 participants since 2012.

Empower Tehama's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer combined with community-led outreach: crisis services are confidential and provided at no cost to victims (a freemium model in customer-experience terms), while awareness, prevention education, and fundraising are driven by events, social media, earned media, school and corporate partnerships, and tear-tab flyer distribution in local businesses. The customer base is segmented by use case (DV victims, SA survivors, trafficking victims, exposed children, perpetrators, and at-risk young adults) rather than by traditional B2B buyer personas, and the organization is governed by a board of directors led by Executive Director Kimberlee Monroe (officially appointed May 22, 2026, succeeding prior ED Michaele Brown).
