Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault

Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault’s National Sexual Assault Coalition Resource Sharing Project (RSP) work to enhance rural sexual assault services through Weaving Roots and Branches: A Training and Technical Assistance Project. This project provides training and technical assistance to OVW rural grantees, subgrantees, and potential grantees and subgrantees on enhancing organizational services and strengthening advocacy skills to meaningfully address sexual assault across the lifespan, including sexual assault services for children and youth, in rural communities.

This project provides training and technical assistance to state and territorial sexual assault and dual coalitions on improving and expanding the response to sexual violence, strengthening collaboration with state and local partners, and supporting underserved communities in coalition activities.

The Resource Sharing Project (RSP) of the Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault and project partner North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NCCASA) supports  Inviting Imagination: Healing Advocacy for Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse. This project provides training and technical assistance to victim service organizations, state and territorial coalitions, and state administrators on advocacy and healing for adult survivors of child sexual abuse and developing financial assistance programming for adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Additional, RSP and NCCASA will support pilot sites focused on developing advocacy and direct financial assistance programming for adult survivors of child sexual assault.

The National Sexual Assault Coalition Resource Sharing Project (RSP), a partnership of Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault and North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, supports grantees of the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (SASP) providing training and TA to state and territory administrators of SASP and sexual assault coalitions.
