What it reported doing in 2025
Claires Community is dedicated to challenging and disrupting societal norms around relationship violence through education and awareness. In the past year, we have expanded our reach by delivering 4,512 hours of training sessions and participating in over 100 community events to promote healthy relationships and safe environments. We currently have eight distinct programs that have directly engaged 13,349 individuals, including students, educators, coaches, and community members, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to recognize and prevent relationship violence. Additionally, we have collaborated with local organizations and stakeholders to reach 9,807 people who now know how to be part of the solution.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
