FUNDRAISE
We are committed to transparency and providing donors with the information they need to assess our organization's impact to the community. SARC receives funding from various federal, state and local government agencies. We also receive funding from foundations, individual donors, and fundraising efforts. As a non-profit organization, SARC relies on the support and generosity of the community in order to provide its free services.

By providing a monthly donation, you are providing survivors with a consistent and reliable source of funding that allows us to provide healing to anyone who has been affected by sexual violence, regardless of their ability to pay.
