What Freedom House does
Mission
Freedom House is a long-term, addiction-recovery program that rescues, restores, and redeems the lives of women and their children in a christ- centered, family environment. In july 2006, Freedom House admitted its first residents and began the work of changing lives one family at a time. The primary goal was to provide a safe and loving environment for the residents to heal and restore their lives as they experienced the lords redemptive power and to teach them how to maintain this healthy lifestyle and become strong mothers that could care for their children well. For 19 years, Freedom House has been a successful, twelve-month residential program where women overcome their addictions and reunite with their families. After completing our residential and aftercare programs, our mothers return to mainstream society as productive citizens, free from the addictions that once threatened their lives, and are able to provide an environment where their children can flourish.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Employment training services: many of the mothers that come to Freedom House have never been employed and are in desperate need of job training to help them secure employment capable of providing for their families after leaving Freedom House. In response to this need, Freedom House opened its first thrift store in greensboro, north carolina on december 18, 2007. Among the many skills Freedom House residents learn are customer service, organization, time management, task prioritization, and how to balance a successful work life with taking care of a home and raising children. The responsibility of each resident increases as she progresses through the employment training program. Freedom House expanded its job training program in 2019 by starting Freedom House farm, a working farm that is growing and selling strawberries and other fresh produce. The residents have the opportunity to participate in the cultivating, harvesting, and selling aspects of the farm as additional employment training.

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 2023 to 2024, from $3.6M to $4.7M (+31%).
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: 2020 5% · 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
11% of FREEDOM HOUSE’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $40k → $87k.
7 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 FREEDOM HOUSE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 22 of 23 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
FREEDOM HOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
30% 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 FREEDOM HOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 51% · 2018 51% · 2019 74% · 2020 30% · 2021 34% · 2022 38% · 2023 29% — 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
38% of FREEDOM HOUSE'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
95% of FREEDOM HOUSE's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $135k 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.
