Programs
Shelter - Terebinth Refuge shelter program is several phases of holistic healing in four areas: 1) body (physical wellness and registered nurse care), 2) mind (mental and chemical wellness, support and educational groups), 3) soul (self-discovery-education, employment skills, recreation/leisure) and 4) spirit (faith discovery). Women identify goals in each area and work within an individual case plan.since we opened our doors in april 2018, we have supported 158 women and 7 children who received emergency shelter and services. Of these 158, there has been a total of 212 intakes representing 54 multiple entries. We have had 17 women receive transitional housing services and have responded to 977 crisis calls.2025 highlights- received 84 crisis calls.- 15 women served in the shelter.- 15 women developed a safety plan and case plan.- 5 residents received legal advocacy support services.

This is an opportunity for the women to live in a separate home with more independence, but still work with some staff and case management support. In this home, women are either working in the community or attending school, saving, and planning for full independence which is their next step. 5 women have left Terebinth Refuge into stable housing and employment during 2025. During 2025, we witnessed an increase in length of stay at Terebinth Refuge and had 4 women move into the transitional program. Prior to this, there had been a "dry" spell at the transition house, with no occupants between 2022-2023 and 1 in 2024. There are women who choose to graduate from shelter and move into independence without transitional programming. Transition gives the women a chance to practice and save money, increasing success and stability. We attribute some of this year's success to our in-house therapist, who had the opportunity to increase her skills and train the advocates in working with higher levels of trauma such as familial trafficking. All the survivors have benefited from these skills learned. We took in fewer…

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 $503k to $749k (+49%).
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 10% · 2019 43% · 2020 40% · 2021 37% · 2022 34% · 2023 23% · 2024 22% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of TEREBINTH REFUGE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 12 funders, grant income rose $7k → $216k.
9 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 37% 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 TEREBINTH REFUGE’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
TEREBINTH REFUGE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
57% 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 TEREBINTH REFUGE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 44% · 2019 22% · 2020 37% · 2021 22% · 2022 17% · 2023 23% — 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
53% of TEREBINTH REFUGE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
69% of TEREBINTH REFUGE's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $549k 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.
