Victim services are provided by phone, on-scene at local emergency rooms, and in-person at RACC's program center and various outreach sites (e.g., jails, homeless shelters, schools, juvenile detention centers, and human service centers). In 2023, RACC engaged 2,393 abuse victims through 41,344 service activities that fostered their personal safety, self-sufficiency, and well-being. Activities included emotional support (90%), information and referrals (81.1%), safety planning (62.3%), emergency financial assistance (22.4%), civil and criminal justice support (3.5%), and medical advocacy and accompaniment (1%).Counseling: RACC's counseling team utilizes evidence-based therapies to help youth and adults process the short- and long-term impacts of abuse.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
