ORSID Therapy Fund is a registered 501c(3) Corporation that abides by all state and federal laws.
The Therapy Fund is dedicated to independent oversight and financial transparency. A non-profit structure was found to best align with these goals.
Our volunteer board members are on varying term lengths. Current board members are Ryan McKillop, Julia Chang Bullick, Parker LiaBraaten.
ORSID Therapy Fund is 100% funded by individual donations. Funds are not solicited from any groups, including the ministry.
Donated funds are managed by the independent Board of Directors.
Emails requesting support are managed by two intake volunteers in the fellowship with backgrounds in human resources, legal, privacy, and trauma-informed case management. Tawnya J. and Susie R. exemplify kindness, professionalism and confidentiality.
The Therapy Fund prioritizes survivor confidentiality. No information will be shared with anyone unless explicitly requested by the survivor or mandated by law to authorities.
No
Many board/team members are mandatory reporters. All other board and team members have committed to also following mandatory reporting guidelines.
No.
We are initially committing to fund the amount of sessions we think we can financially support. If donations exceed the requests, we will increase the number of sessions or stop accepting donations. Our intention is to be a stopgap help on survivors' longer healing journey.
Our goal is that over the next 3 years we can quickly raise and distribute funds for survivors. We recognize everyone is in a different stage of awareness, hurt or healing and want to commit to a minimum 3 year window to avoid placing undue timeline pressure on survivors. We anticipate additional survivors coming forward in the future and want to be available to help in those situations.
No, we only provide therapy funds for adults. If a minor or minor's intermediary reaches out, we will follow Oregon and Idaho Mandatory Reporting Guidelines and provide links to outside resources and information. Link to Oregon’s Mandatory Reporting Guidelines.
Please donate where and when you feel comfortable doing so. We appreciate and support all efforts to help survivors of CSA/SA within or by our fellowship.
We will stop accepting donations if the balance exceeds the anticipated therapy funds needed. If a balance remains when the fund closes or dissolves in not less than three years, it will be transferred to another 501c(3) with similar objectives.
