Overview

Mission

Provide education, intervention and advocacy to those affected by relationship abuse with a holistic approach and anti-oppression focus.

What it reported doing in 2024

Youth services: children's advocates at the shelter work to provide a sense of normalcy and stability for children who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence in the home. Advocates also support parents whose children have been traumatized by witnessing or experiencing abuse. Services offered include physical and mental health assessments, referrals to address identified needs, safety planning, childcare, recreational activities, parent education and support, and child support groups. During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, 30 families met with a family advocate and 61 youth participated in children's prorgram activities. Prevention education advocates focus on teaching healthy relationship skills through educational support groups, individual support, and classroom presentations. Presentations were given at 1 elementary school for 40 youth, 2 post-secondary institutions with 28 individuals in attendance and met individually with 9 youth shelter residents. School counselors refer junior and senior-high students identified as being at risk of being in an abusive relationship for life choices groups. In 2024-2025, 111 middle school and high school youth participated in building healthy relationship groups. Community education is focused on building individual and community awareness about domestic abuse in order to grow a community where domestic violence is not tolerated and healthy relationships are the norm. Community education and professional training are provided to area businesses, faith, human services, civic organizations, education community, and the public at large. In 2024-2025, staff presented at 16 community presentations with 602 in attendance, 10 businesses with 188 in attendance, and 6 law enforcement trainings with 68 in attendance. Staff attended 11 tabling events reaching around 1,354 people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
