Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault

What Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault does

The Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA) is a 501(c)(3) statewide membership coalition founded in 1983 and headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. It works to end sexual violence through four programmatic pillars — Advocacy, Prevention, Racial Justice, and Systems Change & Policy — and supports a network of member programs serving survivors across the state. The coalition also operates the Sexual Violence Justice Institute (SVJI), which delivers national technical assistance on coordinated community response and sexual assault response team (SART) effectiveness.

MNCASA's operating model is grant-funded rather than commercial. Primary revenue sources are federal grants, including awards from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA). The organization runs specialized initiatives such as the Rosemary Project and the Crime Prevention and Policy Project (CPPP), engages in legislative and policy advocacy, and files amicus briefs in cases affecting survivors' rights. Its operating footprint is small, with approximately 15 staff supporting statewide coalition functions alongside the national SVJI mandate.

The coalition functions as a policy and capacity-building intermediary — it has no commercial product or fee-for-service revenue from end users. Core deliverables include training curricula, technical assistance, policy analysis, public awareness campaigns, and convening of member programs. Outputs are consumed by local sexual assault service providers, tribal and community organizations, allied professionals, and policymakers at the state and federal level.
