Overview

Mission

Bay Area Turning Point (BATP) is a community-based social service agency providing services to individuals impacted by family violence and sexual assault. BATP also operates prevention and awareness services designed to bring an end to sexual and domestic violence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advocacy and Education: Provides advocacy, education, and prevention services to victims of both family violence and sexual violence to those directly and indirectly impacted through education and awareness and assisting with their basic needs, crisis intervention, and recovery services. This is accomplished by attending various community resource fairs/exhibits, social club/group meetings, and distributing/posting BATP literature at churches, schools, shopping centers, hospitals, social media streams, and police departments. BATP also uses outreach and education as a strategy for reaching the target population or those who may come into contact with our target population.

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 81% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
