About Our Logo
In 1989, RVAP commissioned artwork for a new logo. Loret Mast, a prominent Iowa City artist, agreed to do the project. She was asked to create a logo that incorporated images of hope, empowerment and choice.
Loret was an RVAP volunteer advocate in the 1980's, and she served on the RVAP Advisory Board. She also served on the board of the Domestic Violence Intervention Program.
Funding
RVAP is able to provide services through community funding, grants, and private donations. ![]()
