About Respect Together
Respect Together’s grantmaking is organized around survivor services and sexual violence prevention in Pennsylvania, with its largest recent awards going to Pennsylvania rape crisis centers that serve multiple state and federal program streams. Woar in Philadelphia received $1,846,754 in 2025, followed by $1,760,006 in 2024 and $1,716,336 in 2023 under the same ACT 44, Title XX, RPE, PHHSBG, SASP, and RSCCA structure. That repeat pattern points to ongoing support for local service providers rather than one-time project gifts. The foundation’s work is tied to its divisions, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and the Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect, which are used to mobilize advocates, service providers, leaders, and communities in support of survivors, victims’ rights, and abuse prevention. Recent grants also show support for centers in Pittsburgh, Media, Jamison, Norristown, West Chester, Allentown, Lebanon, and Wilkes-Barre, indicating a network approach across the state. Respect Together also issues targeted solicitations through its own divisions, including consultant RFPs for needs assessment and organizational development.
What Respect Together Funds
A central theme is direct support for rape crisis and victim service infrastructure. Pittsburgh Action Against Rape received $1,085,052 in 2024 and $901,704 in 2023 for ACT 44, Title XX, FVPSA, RPE, PHHSBG, SASP, and RSCCA work, while The Center for Victims in Pittsburgh received $986,798 in 2025. Respect Together also backs county-based victim assistance networks. The Delaware County Victim Assistance Center in Media received $877,855 in 2025, and the Network of Victim Assistance in Jamison received $820,781 in 2025. Another clear area is prevention and counseling capacity. The Crime Victims Center of Chester County Inc in West Chester received $558,912 in 2025, and Victim Services Center of Montgomery County Inc in Norristown received $579,660 in 2025. The foundation also funds research and planning through its divisions, including a trauma-informed comprehensive needs assessment RFP from NSVRC.
How Respect Together Gives
Respect Together’s recent grants cluster between six figures and low seven figures, with a p25 of $101,301, a median of $200,044, and a p75 of $334,867. The top recent awards are much larger because they are tied to program streams for ongoing service delivery. The same grantees appear across multiple years, including Woar, Pittsburgh Action Against Rape, Delaware County Victim Assistance Center, and others, which shows recurring support rather than isolated grants. Respect Together is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Some awards are routed through public solicitations, such as consultant RFPs issued by NSVRC and Respect Together.
