What Family Violence Project does
Mission
To end domestic abuse in kennebec and somerset counties.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Individual advocacy: advocates offer emotional support, information on protection orders, crisis intervention, referrals, support groups, safety planning, housing options and general information about domestic violence to victims and concerned others. Court advocates assist victims in the civil legal process of filing protection from abuse orders to protect them from their abusive partners. Court advocacy is one of the most rapidly growing areas of service. Our support groups provide a place for survivors of domestic violence to receive support, resource information and to share their stories with others who have experienced abuse.
$872,621 spent43% of program spendingCommunity education: we cannot end domestic violence alone. Our community education programs are designed to raise awareness about domestic violence in our communities and educate about the dynamics of domestic abuse and to work with law enforcement, courts, social service agencies and institutions about how to respond to domestic violence appropriately. Our school-based abuse prevention program offers age appropriate presentations for students in pre-school through high school and adult education. Presentations are designed to inform children and youth about domestic violence and healthy relationships, thereby increasing knowledge of available resources, decreasing isolation, and shaping how our youth approach dating relationships.

Shelter advocates provide residents with access to a variety of resources, including housing navigation. Residents attend groups focusing on domestic violence, parenting and financiall literacy. They receive support navigating the medical system and addressing legal issues.

Changework: the mission of changework is to help men acknowledge their abusive behaviors and beliefs, identify their use of violence and coercive control,and learn to treat partners and children with respect rather than abuse.

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 2021 to 2022, from $2.1M to $2.4M (+16%).
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 78% · 2018 79% · 2019 80% · 2020 81% · 2021 70% · 2022 71% · 2023 78% · 2024 79% · 2025 77%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 7 funders, grant income fell $122k → $89k.
2 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $7.4M from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence). These are real filings, and they are not money FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT raised.
From the IRS filings of FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% 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 FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 48% · 2019 59% · 2020 57% · 2021 56% · 2022 57% · 2023 67% — growing more concentrated.
“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
75% of FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% 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
97% of FAMILY VIOLENCE PROJECT's grant income comes from Maine funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
