The Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault

What The Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault does

The Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault (UCASA) is Utah's designated primary rape crisis coalition, operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered at 275 E. South Temple, Suite 200, Salt Lake City. The organization delivers three core service lines: (1) survivor-facing crisis support through a 24/7 statewide helpline available in English (801-736-4356) and Spanish (801-924-0860), supplemented by sexual assault kit tracking, a downloadable "You Are A Survivor" information booklet in both languages, and a dedicated college-student resource guide; (2) advocate training and certification via a free 40-hour Sexual Assault Counselor Training program that satisfies Utah Confidential Communications Act requirements and certifies volunteers for privileged communications; and (3) clinical-forensic ecosystem coordination, including management of the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program across 22+ hospital and independent team locations statewide and an annual Utah Sexual Violence Conference in its 12th iteration.

The organization's underlying technology stack is standard nonprofit infrastructure — a Wix-hosted website (ucasa.org), email systems, and a virtual training platform — with no proprietary AI, ML, or software products. Distribution is achieved through the statewide helpline, virtual training delivery, in-person community outreach, and institutional partnerships, including a strategic alliance with Intermountain Health providing ANCC-accredited nursing CME and a regulatory conduit role with the Utah Office for Victims of Crime for approving and funding rape crisis centers. The marketing footprint is primarily organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn) plus the website and email newsletter, with no paid acquisition infrastructure evidenced.

UCASA's revenue model is a hybrid of donations/contributions and government grants, with services delivered free of charge. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the organization files Form 990 with the IRS (filings available from 2002 onward). Customer concentration is low by nonprofit standards: a long-tail survivor base, a network of approved rape crisis centers, five named Utah universities (Utah State, University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College, Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University), Intermountain Health as a clinical education partner, and the Utah Office for Victims of Crime as the primary state funding conduit. The primary concentration risk is policy and funding-cycle exposure to Utah state appropriations rather than commercial customer churn.
