Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

SPARCC's mission is to provide a safe haven and promote empowerment, awareness, and social change to end domestic and sexual violence.

  • Emergency Shelter- The Shelter operates 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. The primary goal of the shelter is to protect program participants from harm and to restore them to self-sufficiency through the provision of supportive services. Shelter services include: Safe refuge, food, clothing, crisis counseling, service management, advocacy, safety planning, transportation and information/referral to other private/public sources of assistance. The design of the shelter is such that families and individuals are accommodated on separate sides of the facility with a shared kitchen and dining area. The SPARCC shelter also provides a kennel facility for pets. Domestic violence and sexual assault are under-reported crimes that cause a lifetime of effects and SPARCC aims to aid its participants by providing emergency housing and a place of respite, where daily needs are met, so that survivors have the opportunity to begin healing and making decisions to help change their lives for the better. IFP project attorneys located at SPARCC provide free legal services to help obtain injunctions for survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence, and stalking.

    Expenses $1,185,743

  • Counseling and Advocacy Outreach program participants receive a needs assessment, safety planning, crisis counseling, case management, advocacy and accompaniment, and information and referrals to other community services as needed. The counseling program is based on the crisis intervention model and consists of both individual and group sessions. Participants identify their options and explore their strengths and resources, advocacy services include action on behalf of survivors of sexual and domestic violence, or providing significant assistance to help them access services or information on their own. Accompaniment services include medical exams, appointments, interviews, trial and sentencing and other necessary appointments or services. All services are provided through a trauma informed approach, taking into account the histories of trauma and recognizing the presence of trauma symptoms and their impact on a survivor's life. IFP project attorneys located at SPARCC provide free legal services to help obtain injunctions for survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence, and stalking.

    Expenses $2,514,451

  • Training and Prevention program works to prevent domestic and sexual violence by addressing the social norms that perpetuate violence . Through community and professional education, SPARCC provides free presentations to schools, faith groups, businesses, and community organizations, as well as training for law enforcement, healthcare providers, social services professionals, and others. Prevention programming focuses particularly on youth, equipping students of all ages with skills for healthy relationships, positive self-esteem, and effective communication of boundaries.

    Expenses $251,921

  • Treasure Chest - A resale shop owned by SPARCC that provides household, furniture and clothing assistance to victims of domestic and sexual violence free of charge.

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.
