Overview
Mission
Citizens against domestic and sexual abuse is a not-for-profit corporation whose mission is to advocate with compassion for victims of domestic and sexual abuse, educate the public about such forms of abuse, develop programs to help prevent future abuse, and provide community leadership on issues concerning women, men, and children. Staff provides crisis intervention, advocacy services, safety planning, and temporary shelter to women and children suffering from domestic abuse.
What it reported doing in 2024
General community programming paid for out of administrative funds and contributions that support the needs of our community that fall outside of grant parameters. This may include purchasing essential items for clients that would otherwise not be covered (such as clothing).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 89% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
