What Empowerhouse does
Mission
Empowerhouse empowers survivors of domestic violence and their children to believe in themselves and build new lives filled with dignity, respect, safety, and hope. We give victims the time, space, and tools to heal their hearts, restore their connections, rebuild their lives, and renew their spirits.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs

During the year, 297 victims and children fleeing domestic violence were supported in facilities with their crisis needs, with case management, employment services, and financial subsidies to support safety, financial, and housing stability. The organization provided 27,615 bed nights to survivors of domestic violence and their children which allowed 76 individuals to be supported each night of the year with shelter or their rental housing paid for by Empowerhouse.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $3.4M to $3.7M (+10%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 60% · 2018 45% · 2019 65% · 2020 73% · 2021 73% · 2022 69% · 2023 51% · 2024 69% · 2025 80%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of EMPOWERHOUSE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 8 funders, grant income fell $205k → $200k.
6 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of EMPOWERHOUSE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 26 of 27 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
EMPOWERHOUSE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EMPOWERHOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 57% · 2019 47% · 2020 52% · 2021 48% · 2022 42% · 2023 35% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
31% of EMPOWERHOUSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
54% of EMPOWERHOUSE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $660k that is directly attributable, 81% of it comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $762k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
EMPOWERHOUSE's revenue grew 55% between 2017 and 2025.
