FY 25 State Sexual Assault Service Funding for Tribal, Culturally Specific and Underserved Communities

Funding Purpose: The award funding is meant to improve support for sexual assault victims in Utah by making resources available to programs that serve specific cultural groups and underserved communities, ensuring equitable help for everyone. It aims to build stronger connections between these communities and mainstream rape crisis centers. Additionally, the funding will support jobs and services focused on handling sexual assault crisis intervention, case management, and preventing sexual violence.

Eligibility:
Culturally Specific Organizations
An organization is eligible for this funding if it is a nonprofit, non-governmental, or tribal organization that mainly helps racial and ethnic minority communities. These organizations should be run by and for the people they serve, with staff members who are part of those communities.

Underserved Specific Organizations
An organization is eligible to get funding for underserved programs if it is a nonprofit, non-governmental, or tribal organization that mainly helps communities lacking resources because of cultural, social, economic, or geographical reasons. These organizations should be run by and for the people they serve, with staff members who are part of those communities.

Underserved communities often include immigrants and refugees, elderly people, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those in plural families. Helping these communities usually means creating special programs, policies, and services to reduce inequalities and improve access to important services and opportunities.
