What Marjaree Mason Center Inc does
Mission
To support and empower adults and their children affected by domestic violence, while striving to prevent and end the cycle of abuse through education and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Emergency services: crisis response - the marjaree mason center (mmc) operates a domestic violence crisis helpline which is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This 24/7 helpline, staffed by mmc's dedicated crisis response team (crt), provides immediate crisis intervention services including: risk assessments, safety planning, emergency shelter, transportation, food and referrals for additional services and/or organizations. On average, during this time period, each drop-in client sought services with mmc 1.49 times during the year, while hotline clients sought services 2.63 times during the year. During the intake process, survivors undergo a risk assessment. This assessment, comprised of 15 questions, is used to measure the level of physical danger and lethality (I.e. Risk of death) in their abusive situation. A score above 5 is considered a severely high risk for lethality. During the last year, the median score for mmc's clients was 10. I. Total 24/7 helpline calls received: 8,484ii. Total crisis-drop-ins: 1,771iii. Total risk assessments completed: 1,230iv. Total safety plans completed: 3,029emergency shelter for survivors and their children: through the agency's…
$8,673,204 spent79% of program spendingHousing services: mmc operates several housing programs that provide critical, safe and confidential shelter and ongoing support services to survivors and their children recovering from violence. In addition to the emergency shelter, mmc's housing programs also include facility and community based longer-term transitional shelter as well as off-site short-term rental assistance programs for permanent housing. Clients may participate in these programs for a period of between 12 and 24 months depending on their unique needs. In accordance with vawa guidelines, mmc uses the housing first model to provide service for survivors. This model uses housing as a tool for recovery rather than as a reward for participation and focuses on connecting survivors to permanent housing as quickly as possible. The rental assistance program is an ideal choice for domestic violence survivors seeking housing support when physical safety is no longer a threat. Together, mmc's transitional and longer-term housing programs provided safe shelter to 106 households (230 individuals) including 24 single person households and 82 families. - 77% of all households in this project were families (average family…
$1,288,756 spent12% of program spendingAdvocacy and legal assistance: mmc operates using a "no wrong door" philosophy. This means that individuals impacted by domestic violence are eligible to receive supportive services regardless of their first point of contact. In addition to providing telephone responses to law enforcement, mmc also employs victim advocates stationed at the fresno sheriff's office and the fresno police department. Through this collaboration, mmc advocates work alongside officers responding to reports of domestic violence and connect immediately with survivors to provide crisis intervention, emotional support, education on the criminal justice system, safety planning, and additional linkages to appropriate community resources as necessary. Mmc provides a variety of legal support services including legal advocacy, court accompaniment, restraining order assistance, education and support to survivors of domestic violence. Free legal options classes are facilitated weekly at three of the mmc's facilities and are open to all community members. The first portion of the class is informational and provides an overview of various types of restraining orders, the criminal justice system, safety planning, and…

With that in mind, mmc is actively involved in hundreds of community engagement and education activities each year. This includes facilitating domestic violence training, providing presentations, participating in local community events, and coordinating with local school districts to provide prevention education programs to youth. Domestic violence training teaches individuals about recognizing domestic violence, identifying red flags, what to do if you suspect someone is a victim of abuse, and how to access mmc services. For over 20 years, mmc has collaborated with local high schools and middle schools to provide the know more program. The program is tailored to each school site and grade level and contains discussion guides designed to provide teens, advisors, teachers and parents with domestic violence education, awareness and prevention strategies and intervention techniques.

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 $9.3M to $20M (+120%).
