As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
F2f's hour 2 empower, h2e, is a 90-120 minute interactive sexual violence prevention program for college-age students & community members. The first half of the h2e includes an educational presentation on a variety of topics including: sexual violence 101, consent, bystander intervention, intimate partner violence, supporting survivors, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and trauma-informed support. The education segment is followed by an in-service learning opportunity where participants pack f2f aftercare kits & write a personal note of encouragement for a survivor. F2f kit-packing impacts students on a deeper level that makes advocating the prevention of sexual violence an imperative reality. During july 1, 2023 through june 30, 2024, f2f impacted over 1,800 students & community members through 16 sv prevention programs in 3 states.
$243,949 spent$2,000 earned by the program69% of program spendingThe f2f kit program provides compassionate care kits to survivors of sexual violence that includes sexual assault, ipv (intimate partner violence), domestic violence, child abuse, and human trafficking. After the forensic exam when a victim's clothing is taken as evidence, f2f aftercare kits provide clean clothing and toiletries to meet immediate needs along with resources, trademarked counseling tools, and a personalized note of encouragement for survivors of any gender & age. F2f icare kits support survivors after the reporting window has closed, at any point in their healing journeys. They contain therapy tools & resources, minus the clothing. F2f kits impact survivors through forensic units, children's hospitals, domestic violence shelters, women's resource centers & other community organizations. During july 1, 2023 through june 30, 2024, f2f distributed over 1,900 kits to 29 partners in 4 states.
$102,292 spent$25,619 earned by the program29% of program spendingFear 2 freedom's shadow event is an immersive, emotional 90-minute presentation centered around survivor stories and held at colleges and universities. The anonymous survivors are silhouetted behind a curtain or screen as they share their stories with audience members.the first-hand accounts are incredibly powerful, not just for the description of the assault itself, but also for detailing long-term effects. Attendees discover the impact of the assault on the survivor's life as well as its impact on their family, friends, and social circle.the shadow event agenda also allows attendees to interact with these survivors by writing notes of encouragement and support that will be given to the shadow presenters. Students who attend the shadow event leave with a greater understanding of the personal impact of sexual violence, increased empathy for survivors, and an increased awareness of what they can do to improve safety in their communities.this program was originally a part of the sexual assault programming and resources toolkit but is now being marketed as a separate program.

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 $406k to $672k (+65%).
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: 2021 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of FEAR 2 FREEDOM INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2019 and FY2020, and between the FY2024 and FY2025 filings.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $23k → $112k.
3 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
FEAR 2 FREEDOM INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 31% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
73% 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 FEAR 2 FREEDOM INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 49% · 2018 43% · 2019 32% · 2020 36% · 2021 33% · 2022 53% · 2023 45% — 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
40% of FEAR 2 FREEDOM INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% 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
99% of FEAR 2 FREEDOM INC's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $285k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
