What Safe Harbors of Finger Lakes, Inc. does

Safe Harbors of the Finger Lakes, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1982 that provides free, confidential crisis intervention, advocacy, counseling, and prevention education services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking in Ontario, Seneca, and Yates Counties in New York State's Finger Lakes region. Originally established as the Rape and Abuse Crisis Service of the Finger Lakes, the organization rebranded and expanded its mission in 1997 to encompass domestic violence programming alongside its original sexual assault response work. The organization serves over 10,000 to 15,000 individuals annually and operates through four primary office locations (Penn Yan, Geneva, Canandaigua, Seneca Falls) plus three co-located service points at county courthouses, the Yates County District Attorney's Office, the Seneca County Department of Social Services, and the Child Advocacy Center of the Finger Lakes.

The organization's service portfolio spans three core categories: Advocacy Services (24/7 hotline, emergency shelter, crisis counseling, support groups, safety planning, legal and medical advocacy, and court accompaniment), Education Services (school-based prevention curricula from Pre-K through college, including healthy relationships, internet safety, and trafficking prevention), and Outreach Services (community presentations and professional training). Specialized programs include the licensed Love146 Not A #Number trafficking prevention curriculum for youth ages 12-18, Circle Groups (Girls Circle, Boys Council, Women's Circle) based on One Circle Foundation models, and a Housing & Resource program providing transitional and long-term housing support. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Executive Director Marisa Przepiora and Deputy Director Rachel Gregory, with a named staff of approximately 11 coordinators covering advocacy, youth services, shelter, housing, child advocacy, data, and professional development functions.

The organization is funded entirely through donations and charitable contributions, with all services provided at no charge to clients. It maintains no parent company, no institutional investors, no equity holders, and no disclosed revenue figures. Its competitive position rests on four decades of community trust, multi-county institutional integration with public agencies, and licensed delivery of specialized prevention curricula. Revenue mechanics are donation-driven rather than transactional, and the customer base consists of vulnerable individuals seeking crisis services rather than paying clients.
