What The Center for Safer Communities does
Mission
The mission of CSC is to enhance the safety and well-being of victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and stalking through empowerment and advocacy to create a community responsive to all victims and survivors through education, outreach and accountability and to empower the community to establish a safer culture.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
EDUCATION- CSC provides school based prevention education programs and community based awareness, outreach and training programs. School based programs are available to students pre-school through 12th grade in all schools in Sullivan County. Programs teach youth skills to assist them with everyday challenges throughout their lives. Key topics include bullying and cyber bullying, personal safety, child sexual abuse prevention, relational aggression, respect, healthy relationships, dating violence, date rape, and work that builds a Climate of Respect throughout the school. Trainings are encouraged for staff and parents. Community based programs include trainings for other first responders, trainings at businesses on sexual harassment and domestic violence in the workplace, by-stander trainings, and general awareness programs, all focused on building a healthier community and one that is more responsive to the needs of survivors.
$266,413 spent22% of program spendingDIRECT SERVICES- CSC provides direct services that bring about an immediate cessation from abuse, such as emergency shelter and court advocacy in obtaining restraining orders, as well as services that provide support for healing such as peer counseling, support groups and advocacy in accessing additional community services. Services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Services are provided by a very small staff and a significant volunteer task force. Services are provided on an empowerment and advocacy model. We help survivors make their own decisions about their safety and healing by providing safety planning, options for CSC and additional community services, information on abuse, advocacy and accompaniment. Survivors decide which services they want to access. There is no charge for services as most survivors we work with do not have the means to pay for services or could not safely access resources. We work to reduce barriers in accessing services, including transportation, child care and language. Services are provided to adults, teens and children.
$931,868 spent76% of program spendingTHRIFT STORE-Changes Thrift Store is a social enterprise that provides a service to the Sullivan County community and which generates revenue for Center for Safer Communities programs and services. Gently used clothing and household items are donated by community members CSC then sells items at a very minimal cost .50-5.00 on average. Families and individuals experiencing an unforeseen hardship, individuals living in the community homeless shelter, and individuals who need clothing for job interviews or for their children for school are able to shop for what they need at no cost or at a reduced cost.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $3.0M to $5.0M (+63%).
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: 2019 60% · 2020 62% · 2021 60% · 2022 39% · 2023 44% · 2024 15% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
86% of THE CENTER FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

5 of 38 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
THE CENTER FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
81% 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 THE CENTER FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 35% · 2018 28% · 2019 41% · 2020 57% · 2021 69% · 2022 62% · 2023 68% — growing more concentrated.
“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
50% of THE CENTER FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES'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
86% of THE CENTER FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES's grant income comes from New Hampshire funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $725k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
