Strategic Plan
A values-driven plan to support survivors and strengthen our community response.
Mission
Our mission is to work with our community to end domestic and sexual abuse and to support survivors in achieving their own safety and empowerment.
Vision
Response envisions a community where violence is not tolerated, and all survivors are believed and assisted.
Values
At Response, we value:
- Safety and Confidentiality - above all else
- Dependability - to all our constituents
- Accessibility - of our services for everyone
- Collaboration - with our community and partners for the greatest impact
- Respect and Empathy - for everyone we work with
- Resiliency - as people and as an organization
- Equity - at all levels of our work
Strategic Priorities
Fortify Our Foundation
By increasing our investment in our human and financial resources, we create the stability and strength to have an extraordinary impact.
Mobilize a Movement
With an emphasis on mobilizing people and partnerships, our community can collectively champion change toward a community that has zero tolerance for domestic and sexual abuse.
Inspire Culture Change
With a bold expansion of our prevention programs in schools and deeper, more comprehensive support for survivors, we are bringing culture change to our community.
Strategic Goals
- Strengthen Impact - Continue to provide comprehensive survivor services and support that maximizes the use of the shelter and results in survivors who are safer and more empowered.
- Fuel Growth - Build on our strong financial health by making strategic investments in fund development that will enhance our resiliency in the face of federal funding changes and increase our budget each year.
- Advance Capacity - Assess the staffing, board, and volunteer roles to maximize efficiencies, clarify responsibilities, improve management, and expand organizational and programmatic capacity.
- Strengthen Partnerships - fStrengthen relationships with partners (especially in the Latina/o community) to advance outreach, expand survivor services, and increase awareness in the community.
- Increase Outreach - Increase the organization’s investment in community outreach and prevention campaigns in Spanish & English-speaking communities to make sure that the Roaring Fork Valley community is aware of Response’s services, support, and shelter, and understands the importance of ending domestic and sexual abuse, stalking, and human trafficking.
- Expand Services & Support - Capitalize on our growing impact, capacity, partnerships, and outreach to expand our ability to meet our mission.
