Established in 1973, RCC has been providing crucial crisis intervention services and resources to survivors of sexual violence and their support people in Dane County for 50 years!

As Dane County's only full-service, comprehensive sexual assault service provider, we work hard to keep all of our services completely FREE and accessible to all who need them -- cost should never be a barrier to access. We rely heavily on dedicated volunteers and generous donors like you in order to continue providing compassionate & accessible services to survivors and their loved ones.

While 2023 is a very special year for RCC and we're so excited to celebrate this milestone, we must also soberly assess our future in this current landscape of continual attacks on people's right to control, consent, and safety in their own bodies; continual cuts to funding for social services; continual divestment from community organizations & collective empowerment by the government.

As we have now outlived some of the most important legislation ever made to ensure people's rights and access control over their bodies, lives and futures (Roe v Wade -- also established in 1973 -- and repealed in June 2022), we know our services cannot be taken for granted -- we must fight as hard as ever and we need your help.

We've recently made it even easier to support our work by creating a way to donate via text message. Just type "RCC50" to 53-555 and follow the prompts to set up a $50 donation every month beginning in January of 2023. This qualifies you as a 50th anniversary sponsor, and we will be recognizing your generosity individually at our official birthday picnic in July of 2023. Donating monthly is one of the best and easiest ways to support us! Whether it's $5 or $50 a month, every single bit counts.

Additionally, to celebrate our milestone 50th anniversary, we are planning several events during the upcoming year to offer gratitude to our vast and dedicated community of supporters, donors & volunteers who make our mission and our work possible. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, subscribe to our newsletter, and check our website frequently to remain updated about upcoming events and how to get involved!

More than ever, we remain committed to advocate for those harmed by sexual violence by centering survivors, promoting societal change, and committing to be an evolving force for social equity. We look towards a community free from sexual violence and all forms of oppression as we work to empower survivors and dismantle rape culture.

We'd like you to join the hundreds of other donors, businesses, and organizations who understand that sexual violence affects everyone, and the only way to empower survivors and end rape culture is to do it together.

And that is a beautiful thing.
