Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance

Stand With Colorado Crime Victims and Survivors

Every crime victim deserves support, compassion, and the opportunity to move forward. Your generosity helps make that possible.

Help Survivors Access the Support They Need

The aftermath of crime can bring unexpected financial hardship, emotional distress, and difficult challenges. COVA helps people impacted by crime access direct assistance, financial support, and connections to a statewide network of victim service providers. We help individuals impacted by crime through a range of supportive programs. We offer direct services, financial support, and connections to other service providers within our broad network of professionals dedicated to helping crime victims. 

Strengthen the People Who Stand With Survivors

Behind every supported survivor is someone working to help them navigate the aftermath of crime. Victim advocates and service providers play an essential role in ensuring that survivors are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. For 40 years, COVA has been a statewide hub for crime victim advocates seeking best practices in supporting survivors. These services include training, professional certifications, access to emergency funds for victims, and an internship program that builds a foundation for the next generation of crime victim advocates.

Your Support Makes a Difference

The impact of COVA's work is best told by the people whose lives and work it touches.
