What Project Be Free a Nonprofit Corporation does
Mission
The mission of Project Be Free (PBF) is to provide crisis response to individuals affected by domestic violence (DV) through holistic methods to ensure clients and their families adapt healthier norms. First and foremost, PBF addresses the systemic inequities that exist in accessing mental health supports and resources for people from low-income backgrounds, immigrants, and people of color who live in King County that have been affected directly and indirectly by DV. PBF increases equitable access to services by prioritizing people of color, especially those from low-income backgrounds. Our core values include addressing every member within a family unit affected, whether currently or formerly, by DV and ensuring that our support is culturally relevant and adaptable. We ensure we do this by hiring staff that are as diverse as the community we serve.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Crisis Response: We are currently partnered with Renton, Kent, Auburn and Newcastle PD. Through a co-response model our mental health providers show up on scene to help families navigate a DV crisis, as well as provide critical resources. When there is a DV related call, responding officers will call our direct line to access one of our MHPs and request for accompaniment to a household. In 2024 we assisted over 1800 DV calls, with connecting individuals to programs/services listed below.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $35k to $17k (−51%).
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: 2023 42% · 2024 65%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PROJECT BE FREE A NONPROFIT CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $75k → $33k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 PROJECT BE FREE A NONPROFIT CORPORATION’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
PROJECT BE FREE A NONPROFIT CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
74% 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 PROJECT BE FREE A NONPROFIT CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 77% — 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.
Where its funders are
PROJECT BE FREE A NONPROFIT CORPORATION draws 56% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, across 4 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $44k 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.
