Mission & Focus Areas
TAASA’s stated mission is to be the unifying voice to eliminate sexual violence in Texas. Its work includes policy and legal advocacy, training and technical assistance, support for Sexual Assault Response Teams, and administering grants for sexual assault services. The organization says its approach is trauma-informed and survivor-centric.
TAASA’s Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (SASP) supports general sexual assault victim services and improved access to culturally specific services for primarily adult survivors assaulted by someone other than a family or household member. Eligible applicants listed for the program include rape crisis centers, culturally specific organizations, nonprofit nongovernmental organizations, and tribal programs that provide direct intervention and related assistance.
Among the 2024 grantees described in their own missions, Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center says it supports survivors and their loved ones and works to prevent sexual violence. Saheli says it promotes abuse-free Asian immigrant communities through advocacy, support, awareness, and access to social services. The Women’s Center of Tarrant County describes programs addressing violence, crisis, and poverty, including rape crisis and victim services. Brazos County Rape Crisis Center says it provides crisis services, advocacy, prevention education, and community collaboration for people affected by sexual violence.
