Iowa Relief Fund

Iowa Relief Fund

During the evacuation process of the Gulf Coast Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, people experienced sexual violence, sexual assault survivors were driven from their homes under traumatic conditions, and many sexual assault crisis centers were shut down or damaged. To offer relief to these victims and advocates, national partners working to end sexual violence came together to provide assistance to affected states.

The Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims now continues to assist sexual assault victims and their advocates in coping with other disasters such as the 2008 flooding affecting Midwest states.

RAINN is partnering with NAESV, NSVRC, SCESA and RSP to raise money to help our friends at Iowa rape crisis centers that have been hurt by the floods. You can donate online at relieffundforsexualassaultvictims.org

NSVRC is administering the funds raised without any fee, so 100% of your donation will go directly to help the Iowa rape crisis centers.
