Hi Christina,

Here at the University of Maryland our 24 hour Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Program Advocate Crisis Cell is paid for entirely through the Verizon Wireless HopeLine Program. http://aboutus.verizonwireless.com/communityservice/hopeLine.html
They've done so for the past 2.5 years, and it has been wonderful for us. They provide the phone (right now it's an HTC), with unlimited nationwide calls and texts and internet access. Whenever we have trouble with it the service response has been excellent. To give back, we host collections of old phones for the HopeLine project as well.

Prior to this our service was paid for out of our program's operating budget.

Subject: Hotline and student funding information

Good morning!

This last year our office was funded for a 24 hour hotline through our student government for one year. We have been asked to provide a six month report as to the effectiveness of this service. In putting this report together I was hoping other campuses can share with us some information.

For those of you who have a 24-hour hotline operated through your campus:

• Are they funded through your student government? If not, who funds it?
• What did your numbers look like for your first six months? year?

 
For all others:

• Do you get funding from student government and if so,  how much? What programs do they fund?

Our student government last year was very supportive of our programs but that has quickly changed with some of their new senators.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
Christina
