What The Young Women's Christian Association of Sonoma County does
Mission
Ywca sonoma county is ending domestic violence through awareness, education and empowerment. We engage in best practices around trauma informed services to ensure a model of upstream investments resulting in fewer incidents of domestic violence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The safe house provides refuge in a confidential location for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Established in 1977 as one of the first 15 battered womens shelters in the country, women seeking safety from domestic violence can call the hotline (707-546-1234) to be screened for the ywcas therapeutic 60-day residential program known as the safe house. The ywca also provides community advocacy at the family justice center and as a partner with sonoma works. Through these partnerships, we provide advocacy for victims of domestic violence on site.

In addition, the ywca operates 5 additional childcare centers throughout the county. The teachers are credentialed by the state of california department of education in early childhood education with an emphasis on social- emotional and self-regulation. In our therapeutic preschool, we work extensively with at-risk children, helping them identify their emotions and develop socially.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.7M to $5.5M (+18%).
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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
65% 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 YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF SONOMA COUNTY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 28% · 2019 58% · 2020 27% · 2021 15% · 2022 13% · 2023 26% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
