Overview

Mission

The mission of my sister's house is to maintain a domestic violence shelter and related programs to provide victims with shelter and education.

What it reported doing in 2014

The organization maintained a domestic violence shelter and related programs to provide victims with shelter and education. Services were provided to over 268 clients, with 22 sheltered for 333 bednights and included over 1,332 meals served during 2014. Over 30 volunteers assisted in providing service to the clients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 82% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
