Overview

Mission

To empower those impacted by domestic and sexual violence through compassionate support and comprehensive services, while fostering a community rooted in safety, equity, and healthy relationships. We strive to prevent future violence through education and challenging societal norms that perpetuate abuse.

What it reported doing in 2025

Nonresident services: we supported 622 individuals with more than 17,268 services. These services are focused on therapy and client advocacy including, but not limited to, safety planning, case management, legal advocacy, court support, like skills, housing support, language services, and financial support. In 2025, we served 96 youth with over 709 services, provided 748 therapy sessions to 142 people, and supported 166 individuals with 1,748 services through our southeast asian program. In addition, safe harbor assisted 130 individuals with disabilities through advocacy for 4,733 services.

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 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

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.
