History of the Agency
In the mid-1970s, community leaders,
activists, and survivors of sexual assault had a vision
to create a nonprofit agency that would support victims
of sexual assault in San Antonio and Bexar County.
The Rape Crisis Center began providing supportive
services to victims in November 1975. The Center’s
goal was to ensure victims of sexual violence would
have a responsive medical community, sensitive law
enforcement officials, and active prosecution system.
Established as a private, nonprofit,
501(c)(3) agency, the Rape Crisis Center receives
funding federal, state, local funding, as well as
funding from private individuals, foundations and
the business community. |
