The agency delivers comprehensive, trauma-informed support to victims of these crimes across Cass and Traill counties in North Dakota and Clay and Wilkin counties in Minnesota. Its mission is "to offer 24/7 crisis intervention, advocacy, counseling, and education to all persons affected by sexual and domestic violence and provide prevention programs to create a society free of personal abuse."Since opening its doors in 1977, RACC has empowered more than 110,000 victims to seek justice, reclaim their self-worth, and build safe, independent lives. Services are available through the agency's 24/7 crisis hotline, walk-in and scheduled appointments, and presence at community-based outreach sites. In 2024, RACC supported 3,816 children and adults across all programs with the dedication of 38 full-time employees, 29 on-call and part-time staff, and 103 volunteers. All victim services are offered free of charge and without discrimination.Service EvaluationIn 2024, the agency collected quarterly surveys to evaluate clients' service experience at RACC. The results were overwhelmingly positive: 98.8% said staff communicated with them in a way they could understand. 98.5% reported the services they received were helpful. 98.5% said they felt safe at RACC. 98.2% indicated they would recommend RACC to a friend or relative in need. 97.7% felt staff understood their issues and concerns. 97.1% said they received the services they needed. 95.2% reported that their involvement with RACC increased their personal safety.Crisis Intervention/AdvocacyRACC's crisis hotline is available 24/7/365 for individuals impacted by abuse to speak immediately with a trained member of the agency's crisis intervention team. Victim services are available by phone, in person at RACC's program center, on scene at local emergency rooms, and at a range of community outreach sites, including jails, homeless shelters, schools, and juvenile detention centers. In 2024, RACC provided crisis intervention and advocacy services to 2,438 abuse victims through 41,683 service activities aimed to enhance their personal safety, foster self-sufficiency, and promote overall well-being. These services included emotional support, information and referrals, safety planning, emergency financial assistance, civil and criminal justice support, and medical accompaniment.CounselingRACC's master's level counseling team offers a wide range of evidence-based therapies to help children and adults process both the short- and long-term impacts of abuse-related trauma. These include play-based therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy. The team also incorporates art and other forms of creative expression to provide a safe, non-verbal outlet for victims to process their emotions.In 2024, the team delivered 5,166 hours of therapeutic services to 1,058 individuals at RACC's program center and various community outreach sites, including all Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo (FMWF) public high schools, Minnesota State University-Moorhead, and the Rural Enrichment and Counseling Headquarters in Hawley, MN. Of those served, 98.5% participated in individual therapy and 6.2% took part in group therapy.Prevention EducationRACC's prevention education team provides training and education to students, professionals, and community members across a wide range of settings, including K12 schools, colleges, jails, juvenile detention centers, homeless shelters, victim service agencies, medical centers, human service agencies, and community tabling events. Topics covered include the signs, dynamics, and impacts of abuse; strategies for prevention, intervention, and reporting; healthy relationship building; and information about victim rights and available services.In 2024, the team facilitated 1,035 presentations to 20,256 children and adults throughout RACC's service area. This included the delivery of the Red Flag Green Flag (RFGF) curriculum to 3,737 second and third grade students at 40 rural and urban elementary schools. Developed by RACC in 1980, RFGF is an evidence-based program that has been implemented in all 50 states, recognized internationally, and widely praised as an effective tool for helping children, families, and schools identify and report sexual abuse.Supervised Parenting Time/Safe ExchangeRACC's Rainbow Bridge program offers a safe, structured environment for families with a history of abuse or conflict to participate in supervised parent-child visits and custody exchanges. To prioritize safety, custodial and non-custodial parents arrive and depart at different times using separate entrances. All parent-child interactions are supervised, with staff present to observe each visit. Rainbow Bridge accepts referrals from child protective services, the court system, and victim service agencies. Services are provided on a sliding fee scale. In 2024, Rainbow Bridge engaged 136 families (221 children, 275 adults) in 1,195 supervised visits and 162 safe custody exchanges.Domestic Violence Offender InterventionRACC's NoViolence team provides education and skill-building for individuals who have used violence in intimate partner relationships.

In 2024, NoViolence facilitators led six weekly groups: four AMEND and two EVOLVE - offered in both virtual and in-person formats, serving 217 individuals.Coordinated Community Response (CCR)RACC is deeply engaged in advancing its mission by actively participating in a variety of committees and networks that coordinate community-wide violence prevention and intervention efforts.

Interest and dividends, net of investment expense, are to be transferred to the temporarily restricted endowment fund until the Board determines that the funds be used. In establishing this policy, the Organization considered the long-term expected return on its endowments. The Organization's spending policy states that distributions can be made providing that distributions made do not result in the fund decreasing below the Board's designated or the donor's contribution basis, and the corpus of the donor restricted endowment will be maintained in perpetuity. In the case of donor restricted funds, the spending policy, as established, allows for distributions of the income and net appreciation, both realized and unrealized, at a range of 4% to 6% of the fair value of the endowment assets. Part X, Line 2: The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Organization would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.

Assistance under this amount requires documentation signed by the individual receiving assistance, is approved by individuals providing direct service to clients, and is periodically reviewed by program management and accounting personnel. A minimal supply of grocery vouchers, gas vouchers, bus tokens, and cash are kept on hand at all times for this purpose. Part III, Column b All emergency assistance provided to individual clients (to include cash, grocery vouchers, and transportation assistance) is attempted to be tracked in a database for grant reporting purposes. With the exception of larger dollar payments, such as that for rental assistance, items are tracked on number of vouchers / tickets / tokens given out. When funds are spent, the dollars are tracked in the general ledger. At the end of the year, number of vouchers given out & individuals served per the database and dollars given per the general ledger are reconciled to the extent possible. If amounts appear reasonable based on this reconciliation and review of larger dollar disbursements, those figures are kept as estimates.
