Overview
Mission
Serving at-risk families everywhere, Inc. (SAFE) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to assist communities that are marginalized, underrepresented, and underserved by providing personal and professional growth opportunities that lead to happy and healthy lives. SAFE was founded in 2022 by a group of local activists with a vision to create a community with a renewed sense of purpose, strong family bonds, a culture of care and responsibility, and respect for self and others. The organization's programs are centered on addressing the root causes of persistent community issues like violence, inequitable distribution of resources, and reducing the care gap. As a direct service organization, our programming focuses on rural and suburban communities often left underserved due to their location outside of major city centers.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Gun Violence Prevention Program reached 86,294 individuals including 415 who were trained on practical methods of gun violence intervention. Through our program, we have educated people on the realities of gun violence, warning signs and risk factors for gun violence and strategies for conflict mediation and age-appropriate bystander intervention.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
