Overview

Mission

Map is a local, statewide, and national resource for communities looking to develop and implement proven, innovative, community-centered strategies that address gender-based violence. Using map's "we are all connected" (waac) prevention framework, map engages community members across the life span, from youth grade 3 through adults. With community-connectedness at the foundation, waac leverages map's unique combination of restorative justice, violence prevention, and systems change expertise, integrating community wisdom and insight, to identify need and co-create tools, resources, and programming that help build safe, thriving communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Domestic violence restorative circles: map's restorative programming includes both the domestic violence restorative circles (dvrc), for high level domestic violence offenses, and the best restorative alternative response for students engaged in the campus sexual misconduct process. These programs integrate proven public health prevention strategies and best practices within the fields of transformative and restorative justice to prevent harms from happening again, working not just with individuals who cause harm, but also with their respective communities in order to reduce the risk of recidivism and facilitate healthy reintegration into community. In 2024 map's restorative programming served a total of 62 participants, victims, and family members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 65% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
