Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence, Inc.

What Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence, Inc. does

Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence, Inc. (The Alliance) is a 501(c)(3) statewide coalition headquartered at 96 Pitkin Street, East Hartford, Connecticut, that coordinates nine affiliated sexual-assault crisis member centers delivering free, confidential services to survivors across every Connecticut town. Incorporated in 1982 as Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services, Inc. (CONNSACS) and renamed to its current form in 2015, the organization traces operational roots to 1979. Its core services include a 24/7/365 bilingual statewide toll-free crisis hotline (English 1-888-999-5545, Spanish 1-888-568-8332), crisis counseling, support groups, hospital/police/court accompaniment, case management, forensic-evidence coordination through the SAFE Program, prevention education in K-12 schools per Connecticut mandate, campus advocacy for higher-education students, and fee-bearing professional training at its Training & Advocacy Center at 98 Pitkin Street.

The Alliance operates four named sub-brands: the Victim Rights Center of Connecticut (VRCCT), which provides independent legal counsel to crime victims; the SAFE Program, which coordinates Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners across participating hospitals; Connecticut Safe Bars, a hospitality-industry bystander-intervention training program; and Post-Conviction Victim Services (PCVS), which supports survivors as offenders re-enter the community on parole or probation. Underlying infrastructure includes the SAKI Track Your Kit online system allowing survivors to track Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits from hospital through forensic lab processing, and a coalition-wide Data Analytics & Quality Assurance function. A Victim Survivor Advisory Council has guided the organization since 1995, embedding survivor-led input into governance.

The Alliance is funded through a mix of state and federal government grants (including Justice Assistance Grant Program support for the SAFE Program), individual and corporate tax-deductible donations (one-time and monthly recurring via PayPal, Bloomerang, checks, and AmazonSmile), and modest fees from professional training programs and CEU-eligible courses. Direct survivor services are provided at no charge. Leadership includes Executive Director Beth Hamilton and Deputy Director Kenisha Farquharson, with a Board of Directors chaired by President Lucy Nolan. The organization is privately held as an independent nonprofit with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no equity funding history.
