Overview

Mission

To empower individuals to break the cycle of family violence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advocacy and counseling - victims of family violence receive advocacy and counseling both as residential and non-residential clients. Advocates provide support throughout legal and court proceedings, assist with applications for protective orders, provide safety planning and referrals to community resources. In the counseling program, clients work with a therapist both individually and in group sessions to understand the abuse, the impact of the abuse and their options to change for the future. In 2024, safe place worked with 192 resident adult clients and 521 non- resident adult clients.

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.
