Prevail, Inc.

What Prevail, Inc. does

Prevail, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1986 and headquartered at 1100 S. 9th Street, Suite 100, Noblesville, Indiana. It provides free, confidential victim advocacy and support services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse in Hamilton County, Indiana and surrounding areas. Across its 40-year operating history, the organization reports more than 70,000 cumulative survivor engagements, and it is approaching a 40th Anniversary milestone in 2026.

The organization's service portfolio is organized around crisis response and longer-horizon recovery. The core offering is a 24/7/365 crisis hotline available in English and Spanish, supplemented by advocates who provide on-scene response with law enforcement (including coordination on the Lethality Assessment Program and ILEA-certified training) and hospital response during forensic exams. Adjacent services include advocacy (courtroom support, protection orders, safety planning), support groups, a Safe Housing Program, and a Self-Sufficiency line covering employment, transportation, financial literacy, and budgeting. Upstream of crisis services, Prevail runs Primary Prevention programming in schools and a Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month toolkit.

Prevail employs roughly 29 people and reports annual event fundraising in the low six figures (a $170,000+ Gala in 2025, a $60,000+ Fashion Show, and a ~$41,000 Bowl-A-Thon). Operating funding draws on individual donations, recurring giving, planned giving, grants, and a permanent endowment (the Donna Fund) held at the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Go-to-market is service-delivery: there is no software product or paying customer base, and all survivor services are provided free of charge. The organization is operationally embedded with law enforcement, hospitals, the Department of Child Services, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, and area schools, and Indiana ranks as having the fifth-highest domestic violence rate in the United States, framing Prevail's addressable need.
