Contactlifeline, Inc.

Contactlifeline, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides crisis intervention, counseling, advocacy, and support services to victims and survivors of sexual violence in Delaware. Through federal grants, the organization serves as a critical resource for this vulnerable population by offering case management, hospital/court accompaniment, and a 24/7 rape crisis hotline.

Contactlifeline, Inc. has received federal funding to provide sexual assault services both as a prime recipient and subrecipient. As a prime grantee, the organization was awarded over $150,000 by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women to support state coalition services. As a subrecipient, Contactlifeline has worked with the Delaware Governor's office across numerous grants to maintain and expand counseling, crisis response, and school-based programs for sexual assault victims. Specific services provided through these federal subawards include crisis intervention, counseling, rape crisis advocacy, case management, school therapist positions, and hotline administration and training. The scope ranges from direct counseling and legal/medical accompaniment to back-end supports like supplies procurement and stipends for overnight and holiday volunteer coverage. Through this mix of federal funding, Contactlifeline serves as a centralized network for sexual assault support across Delaware.
