CAPSA- CITIZENS AGAINST PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE

What CAPSA- CITIZENS AGAINST PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE does

CAPSA (Citizens Against Physical and Sexual Abuse) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 and headquartered in Logan, Utah, providing free, confidential crisis, shelter, and recovery services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape across Cache Valley, the Bear Lake Area, and parts of Southern Idaho. The organization operates a 36-bed emergency shelter with average 26-day stays, 24/7 crisis phone lines serving Utah and Idaho, a Mobile Crisis Team (formed 1992 as the first of its kind in Utah), clinical therapy services, case management and legal advocacy, children's services, and school- and community-based prevention education reaching more than 18,000 participants annually. CAPSA also owns or manages 21 transitional housing homes across three purpose-built neighborhoods — Independence Place, Hansen Fourplex, and Independence Way — described as a national model for domestic violence transitional housing.

The organization is funded primarily through nearly $3 million in competitive state and federal grants applied for annually, approximately $1.5 million in community donations (business sponsorships, foundation grants, individual contributions), fundraising events raising more than $150,000 per year, and retail proceeds from Somebody's Attic, a nonprofit second-hand store founded in 1985 that has contributed more than $1 million historically. CAPSA operates with 80 employees and 90 volunteers, sustains a 90% program-spend ratio (90 cents of every dollar to survivor services), and holds a GuideStar PLATINUM transparency rating.

CAPSA's current strategic priorities are geographic expansion into Idaho (CAPSA of Southeast Idaho) and Northern Box Elder County (the Garland Transitional Housing Project, supported by a $3.6 million DAHF grant and 7 acres of donated land). Hospital partnerships with Cache Valley Hospital and Franklin County Medical Center enable forensic exam advocacy, while corporate and foundation partners (Malouf Foundation, Dell Loy Hansen Family Foundation, Wasatch Group, Charis Legacy Foundation, Real Salt Lake Foundation) anchor capital and in-kind support. Technology is not a product or differentiator; service delivery is human-mediated, with intake supported by Social Solutions Portal's Apricot platform.
