Mission

Standing Together to End Sexual Assault (STESA) empowers people through healing and social change to eliminate all forms of sexual violence. We are committed to transforming lives by providing services and education to meet the needs of our diverse community.

  • Crisis Intervention: STESA provides clients with immediate information and support to reduce isolation and mitigate the onset of rape trauma syndrome. Program components include: A 24 hour hotline to offer crisis counseling, medical/legal information, advocacy, and accompaniment, and community referrals. In addition, STESA provides in-person counseling.

    Expenses $584,110

  • Long Term Counseling: STESA offers individuals, couples, group, and family counseling services. In addition, trained counselors offer weekly support groups for adult and teen survivors of sexual assault and related long -term problems. The program is primarily designed to address the counseling needs for survivors in the latter stages of rape trauma syndrome, a form of PTSD.

    Expenses $284,573 · Revenue $2,025

  • Community Education Program: STESA strives to promote greater public awareness and understanding of sexual assault through education and prevention programs by providing presentations on sexual violence awareness, prevention, self-defense and sexual harassment to community organizations and specialized training to law enforcement agencies, medical personnel, and other interested groups.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2023, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
