Programs
"the goal of the transitional housing program is to provide subsidized, long-term housing and comprehensive case management to asian immigrant victims of domestic violence. Our transitional housing (th) program provides critical aid to survivors as they recover and rebuild a solid foundation free from violence. The th program assists survivors with finding and securing safe and affordable housing units, creating budgets, and covering up-front rental expenditures such as security deposits, first months rent, and/or utilities. Survivors who take advantage of the th program develop long-term financial independence and self-sufficiency by maximizing Kan-Wins long-term empowerment programs and other wraparound service plans. Kan-Wins th program offers subsidized housing so our clients can select the neighborhood that they want to live in. The th program coordinator works with clients to assess housing options after deciding on their ideal location. She conducts in-depth inspections, guides them through the application and screening processes, and speaks with landlords about the survivors particular needs to help them resolve any credit or documentation problems.

$277,451 spent12% of program spendingThe peer advocate leadership (pal) program leverages a peer-to-peer education method to establish trust and engage with community members on domestic, dating, sexual violence, and stalking issues. The program is run in mongolian, korean, mandarin chinese, and has a youth program (youth peer advocate leadership, or ypal). Participants attend a 5-week training program through which they will reach out to their peers to deliver education on domestic violence issues. This program allows pals to practice verbalizing and normalizing talking about these issues, help them discover in their language how to define various concepts, and use their trust networks to spread awareness about victims' rights and options. Pal participants receive stipends of up to 100 for their participation. This autumn season, we had 51 dedicated participants across each pal programs.
$185,956 spent8% of program spendingFor our transitional housing participants and select clients, we offer a specialized economic empowerment program. Through the program, participants are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage personal finances, minimize financial risk, and develop professionally. Financial literacy trainings are conducted in korean, english, chinese, and mongolian. Since it was launched in 2023, survivors have opened bank accounts and began saving towards their individual goals, with a savings match made available upon their goal achievement. Outcomes from this program included 100% of workshop participants that had social security numbers accessing their credit report for the first time, 100% accessing their credit report (85% of them stated that it was their first time obtaining one), and 100% responded that they feel theyve built a basic foundation for financial literacy. Additionally, 73% of participants opened a savings account for the program and developed a savings goal, and 82% of participants started building a savings habit of 50 every month. Eep participants also receive stipends for their participation.

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 2022 to 2023, from $1.9M to $2.5M (+32%).
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 57% · 2025 79%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of KAN-WIN’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $42k → $683k.
10 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 KAN-WIN’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 31 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
KAN-WIN has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 40% 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
77% 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 KAN-WIN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 86% · 2018 73% · 2019 74% · 2020 66% · 2021 52% · 2022 19% · 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
80% of KAN-WIN'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
96% of KAN-WIN's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $789k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
