About SASP

• Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (SASP) is the first federal funding stream solely dedicated to the provision of direct intervention and related assistance for victims of sexual assault. SASP directs grant dollars to states and territories to assist them in supporting rape crisis centers and other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations or tribal programs that provide services, direct intervention, and related assistance to victims of sexual assault. Funds provided through SASP are designed to supplement other funding sources directed at addressing sexual assault on the state and territorial level.
  Idaho’s SASP funding provides funds for intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, support services and related assistance for adult, youth, and child victims of sexual assault, family, and household members of victims and those collaterally affected by the sexual assault.
