Overview

Mission

W.O.M.A.N., Inc. supports survivors of domestic violence and their loved ones along their healing journeys, bridging value rich networks designed to address intersections of violence. In all our work, we strive to continually increase our awareness of the many intersections of violence, power, privilege, and oppression affecting all of us including issues of sexism, transphobia, racism, and capitalism. Built upon a feminist, intersectional, and anti oppression framework, we are guided by the following beliefs: If we are adaptive in our work, then we can better respond to the emerging needs of the people we support. If we engage marginalized communities, then we will increase our cultural humility as we learn from and with our participants. If we sustain a leaderful organization, then we will create a culture of shared power. We work toward collective liberation: everyone deserves to feel safe in their bodies, their homes, and their communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Healing and Stabilization Over 200 survivors of domestic violence completed Healing and Stabilization program intakes. Services included therapy, individual and group counseling, and immediate crisis support. This past year, we provided more than 150 hours of one-on-one support and over 85 hours of group counseling. Each survivor who completed an intake also received an intake interview that included referrals, safety planning, and supportive counseling.Following the expansion of our Latinx Program, staff provided services to over 15 Latinx survivors. Support included one-on-one peer counseling, client advocacy, support groups, leadership development, and community connection through Echando Palante. Some participants also received up to 12 sessions of complementary therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Operating model

Revenue model

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.
