Overview
Mission
To improve the quality of life for women, children, and families in the pittsburgh area through community service, advocacy, and education programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Children's playrooms at the courts-the children's rooms in the courts serve hundreds of children each month, both from families with court business and jurors, at no cost to parents. Since 2001, the rooms have provided almost 60,000 children with a safe haven removed from the stress and difficulties of the courtroom. This is the only such service in the country run by a non-profit. The rooms serve infants through teens. Each room contains toys, games, books, crafts, computers, and video games. All children who visit the playrooms receive snacks, lunch, and an age-appropriate book to take home and keep (supplied by our book drive). A director, trained staff, and volunteers operate the rooms. All staff and volunteers have the required Pennsylvania clearances.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
