Overview

Mission

Reclaim is a community resource providing pathways to stability, opportunity & connection.

What it reported doing in 2024

Gender-Based Violence Program: Reclaim, in partnership with the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, provides emergency shelter and services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, harassment, and stalking. The program serves women, men, and families, offering safe motel-based shelter, basic needs support, safety planning, and case management. In 2024, we sheltered 39 victim/survivors and 26 family members, providing a total of 3,114 bed-nights of safety and stability. Survivors also received referrals to counseling, legal assistance, advocacy, and housing resources. Unfortunately, due to limited funding, more than 60 additional victim/survivors seeking safety had to be turned away. This program fills a critical gap in the Snoqualmie Valley, where few local resources for gender-based violence survivors have previously existed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 81% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
