Second Bloom of Chatham

What Second Bloom of Chatham does

Second Bloom of Chatham is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Pittsboro, North Carolina, that provides trauma-informed, survivor-centered services to survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in Chatham County. Founded in 2017, the organization operates a 24/7/365 crisis helpline, in-person advocacy at its 136 West St. office, off-site advocacy appointments across the county, support groups with free childcare, legal advocacy for Domestic Violence Protective Order (50B) and No Contact Order (50C) paperwork, and case management. It also delivers professional training and community education to healthcare providers, schools, law enforcement, and local businesses.

The organization's service delivery rests on a relatively small paid team of 8 staff (Program Director, DV/SA advocates, bilingual DV/SA advocates, and a therapist) supported by 80+ active volunteers, including four bilingual helpline advocates. It is the designated survivor services agency for Chatham County by the NC Council for Women and Youth Involvement, a member of the NC Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and a joint operator of a virtual CSA Survivor Support Group with the Orange County Rape Crisis Center. There is no proprietary technology platform; the organization is a service-based nonprofit with no app, no API, and no AI/ML capability disclosed.

Commercially, Second Bloom funds operations through a mix of individual donations, government grants (state and federal, including the NCDPS Governor's Crime Commission), a volunteer-run thrift shop social enterprise at 630 East St., and event-based fundraising such as the April 2024 Art Auction, which alone raised $25,000. All survivor services are provided free of charge. The operating budget grew from $180,000 in 2017 to over $600,000 in recent years, and the organization is actively pursuing $450,000 in county-committed shelter funding to establish domestic violence emergency housing capacity in the county.

• NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Statewide coalition of which Second Bloom is a member. Provides training, policy advocacy, and resource coordination for member DV programs across NC — an umbrella/incumbent comparable in the same policy and funding ecosystem.

Closely comparable in mission, service mix, and central-NC geography, with a longer track record of residential DV shelter operations.
