Overview

Mission

To prevent domestic and sexual violence and to empower victims through advocacy, education, support services and collaborative partnerships. This is accomplished through provision of emergency shelter, 24/7 crisis response, children's programming, primary prevention, legal advocacy, and community outreach.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 65% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
