Mission

King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit providing direct services to people of all ages, genders, races, and cultural backgrounds in King County, WA, while working toward the ultimate goal of eliminating sexual violence and abuse from our communities. We’re on the front line with victims and their families, ensuring that all people affected by sexual assault get the treatment they need and advocacy they deserve. We’re also at the forefront of change, guiding public policy development and delivering best practice education to create safer environments for everyone.

Notes from the nonprofit

Founded in 1976, KCSARC has grown to become largest, most comprehensive sexual assault victim service organization in King County and WA State. The mission of KCSARC is to give voice to victims, their families, and the community; create change in beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors about violence; and instill courage for people to speak out about sexual assault. Programs that drive our mission forward include: a 24-hour resource line, legal and general advocacy, therapy, parent education and family services, and primary prevention programming. We operate several multidisciplinary initiatives that integrate the above services for specific populations including Dando Voz (Giving Voice) and Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors). Both of these programs are with bilingual/bicultural providers who support the needs of our Spanish-speaking clients.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
