About Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault
Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault channels large pass-through grants to Maine sexual assault support centers, with repeated funding to Sexual Assault Prevention & Response Services in Auburn, Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine in Portland, and Amhc Sexual Assault Services in Caribou. The pattern is not one-off project financing; the organization is structured to move state and federal dollars into direct victim services, center operations, and associated programming across Maine. Its recent grants show sustained support for a statewide network of member centers and related providers. Rape Response Services in Bangor, Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center in Winthrop, and Sexual Assault Support Services of Midcoast Maine in Brunswick each appear across multiple years, indicating ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The coalition also funds emergency and survivor-support mechanisms, including immediate assistance for food, clothing, shelter, medicine, childcare, and transportation through administered funds. The foundation’s work centers on sexual violence services, prevention, capacity building, and response systems. It also supports human trafficking survivor assistance and crisis-related service continuity, including technology and supplies used to keep confidential support available during disruptions. Across the record, the grants are tightly tied to service delivery for survivors and to the organizations that provide those services.
