We support people who have experienced sexual violence in any form, including intimate partner violence, family violence, sexual harassment, stalking, trafficking, and more. false false 985556 133818 237602 SASS provides a comprehensive range of services for survivors of past and recent sexual assault as well as for their family members, partners, and community members. SASS services include a 24-hour crisis and support line, 24-hour emergency medical advocacy, legal advocacy and accompaniment, transitional housing support, support groups and psychoeducational programs, youth advocacy, Latine community services, and community outreach and education. As one of only two stand-alone sexual assault specific agencies in the state of oregon, SASS fills an essential role. As a result of working specifically with survivors of sexual violence, our staff have in-depth expertise and understanding of the unique issues they face, particularly those who have experienced sexual violence outside of an intimate partner relationship. While our service area is primarily Lane County, we are frequently contacted by survivors from throughout the state and in other regions of the country (and across the world) who may feel that the services in their local community are not appropriate for them. From July 2024 through June 2025, SASS served 1726 individuals across a total of 3827 client contacts. Compared to the previous fiscal year, this represents a 7% increase in unique individuals served and a 36% increase in total contacts overall. During the same period, SASS responded to 1631 calls to our 24/7 hotline (about 9% higher than the previous fiscal year) and had 83 conversations on our Crisis Text and Chat Line. 536 people participated in support groups accounting for 1076 duplicate contacts (50% increase from the previous year). SASS advocates provided emergency medical advocacy 202 times, accompanied 40 survivors to make a police report (a 14% increase from the previous year), accompanied survivors to court proceedings 18 times (200% increase from the previous year), and supported survivors in other legal matters 33 times.SASS operates from an empowerment-based, survivor-centered philosophy; we believe every survivor has the right and ability to make their own choices and decisions and that those decisions define our role and level of involvement. As SASS advocates, our role is to provide information and referrals, as appropriate and as requested by the survivor, nonjudgmental support and options, and to respect and advocate for the survivor's choices, rights, and goals. SASS believes that oppression is inextricably linked to sexual violence and creates a culture in which sexual violence is minimized, dismissed, normalized and glamorized. To that end, SASS staff actively engage community partners and fellow responders to improve the system response to sexual violence through increased project partnerships, collaborations, and agency cross training. Additionally, staff participate in a wide array of community events throughout the year to increase community awareness about the issue of sexual violence and SASS services. SASS takes an active leadership role at both the state and local levels. At the state level, SASS is actively involved and regularly participates in statewide legislative advocacy efforts and is active on various legislative workgroups which focus on survivor issues. At the local level, SASS is a member of the leadership team for the Lane County Sexual Assault Response Team and Domestic Violence Council as well as a founding member of the Lane County Violence Prevention Coalition. SASS advocates participate in many state, county, and local workgroups and committees. SASS has long term, ongoing partnerships with community agencies such as: Oregon Law Center, UO Laws Domestic Violence Clinic, Hope and Safety Alliance, Plaza de Nuestra Comunidad, UOs Center for Childhood Safety and Wellbeing, DevNW, Youth ERA, the 4J School District, and more. 985556 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 21 0 true 21 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false OR X X X X Kaelyn Kirkpatrick 5416038715 1902 Jefferson St Ste 1 Eugene OR 97405 Martina Shabram Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 96112 0 7371 Lauren Buse President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Selena Portillo-Jensen Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Angie Peatow Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Hannah Flier Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Hall Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Daley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katarzyna Mlynski Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsay Selser Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Lax Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Micah Howe Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Maloney Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 96112 7371 0 false false false 0 849682 124804 974486 School Campus Services 624200 237602 237602 237602 6060 6060 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1218148 237602 6060 31127 31127 102691 102691 0 0 106682 37339 58675 10668 0 563495 563495 0 64647 64647 65660 58866 5749 1045 0 0 31586 31586 0 0 0 13313 5122 8191 1717 1444 273 5294 2772 2522 55008 49316 4816 876 0 62065 55643 5434 988 4449 3964 485 0 83 83 0 0 3260 2924 284 52 9457 9457 Staff Development 4080 2884 774 422 Miscellaneous 2215 348 1860 7 Other program expenses 2167 2167 Vehicle expense 724 724 0 1129720 985556 129833 14331 787920 734048 413996 410001 2316 0 0 0 0 0 0 15344 19641 37162 25407 15015 11755 0 0 0 0 0 1234591 1175445 1067 1264 221656 73885 222723 75149 X 1011868 1100296 1011868 1100296 1234591 1175445 88428 X false false false X 788909 717567 807854 774538 974486 4063354 0 0 788909 717567 807854 774538 974486 4063354 0 4063354 13 85 447 4486 6060 11091 0 0 4074445 615601 0.99730 0.99870 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17867 17867 19295 7540 11755 11755 true Plaza de Nuestra Comunidad 195 W 12th Ave Eugene OR 97401 930638731 31127 0 Support of Latin assault survivors 1 0 Transitional housing 54 102691 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 The bylaws were updated in May 2025 in the following ways: The purpose was updated to reflect the organization's revised Mission, Vision, and Values statements that were changed in 2024.
