Overview
Mission
The National Women's Prison Project (NWPP) was established in 2003 and now in its sixth year of services, after seeing the need for services solely for the almost "invisible" females, and has provided services to over one thousand women since its inception. NWPP meets the needs of females transitioning from incarceration to the community by linking them to a continuum of transitional services that include job training, anger management, parenting classes, clothing assistance and many of the soft skills needed to integrate successfully back into society. Using a gender based approach, NWPP provides on-going classes, both inside correctional facilities before and after release. Once released, an individualized "Plan of Success" (IPS) is created for each female to achieve the basics - housing, job training, substance treatment, health referrals and reunification with the family.
What it reported doing in 2011
Christmas Party for Children of Incarcerated Parents "CHIPS" - provides Christmas gifts for children having incarcerated parents. Parties are given both inside of the correctional facility (2) and in the community. Over 250 Children participated in this combined effort.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
