What it reported doing in 2025

The Abuse Services program at Hope Villages of America provides abuse services through various methods, including through a certified domestic violence center. Thousands of prevention and intervention services are provided each year, including classes on healthy relationships, support groups, legal advocacy, relocation assistance, and more. Additionally, approximately 200 women and children fleeing domestic violence stay in our emergency safe house each year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
