Overview
Mission
While the aesthetics reflect an inspiring heritage, TMH keeps its eyes firmly fixed on the future. Its mission is tied to a simple idea that’s reverberated through decades: to provide a safe, affordable place for young women to live while pursuing their dreams here in DC. Though these dreams and opportunities certainly have seen seismic shifts since we welcomed our first resident (hello 19th amendment!) — the need for a place like TMH has remained fixed. Through the years, we have welcomed residents in all kinds of jobs; jobs that have changed with changing times. For instance, we saw a mini-influx of the Nation’s first FBI women in the early 1960s. Today, our residents are often Congression.
What it reported doing in 2024
The young woman's christian home has been a haven to thousands of young women since its charter by congress in 1887 to fulfill the need for temporary housing for young women who were coming alone to Washington, dc, seeking education or employment until they could become established in the community. The home provides living quarters, housekeeping, major meals, security system, recreation room, computer room, and common living areas for socialization. The home also provides meals for guests of its residents. In 2024, 415 young women were provided room and board. The young woman's christian home has had a significant impact on the lives of many women from across the united states and around the world, representing numerous cultures and religions.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
