What Women and Families Center does
Mission
Wfc is committed to promoting equity and to improving quality of life through services that foster empowerment and independence. Our guiding vision: to be the leading agent for positive social change.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Reach (reaching every adolescent to create hope) provides outreach, case management, crisis intervention, psychoeducational groups, and academic assistance to youth ages 12-24. Transitional housing is available to those between the ages of 18-21. Advocates help youth to identify the barriers that prevent them from remaining stably housed, and guide them to a social and educational path that will lead to an improved quality of life and self-sufficiency. In 2021-2022, the program touched the lives of 200 at- risk youth. One youth indicated, "with the help of this program, I have a place that my daughter and I can call our own."
$2,671,068 spent100% of program spendingSacs (sexual assault crisis services) offers no-cost, 24 hour crisis intervention to survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones in meriden, wallingford, cheshire, middlesex county, new haven, woodbridge, bethaney, east haven, hamden, north haven, branford, north branford, guilford, and madison. Additional services include short-term counseling, accompaniment to the hospital and through the criminal justice system, support groups and referrals to additional community resources. Counselors help clients to build the supports and skills needed to alleviate the stressors they may be experiencing, and to reclaim power, control, and a sense of safety and security. A client recently stated, "if it weren't for this group, I might have never talked about my abuse."
Star is a before & after school program located in three of meriden's elementary schools. Parent fees are determined by a sliding fee scale. Experienced staff help children (grades k-5) to discover the magic of learning through engagement in hands-on activities, field trips and special guest presentations focusing on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (steam). In addition, children who participate in the program are assisted with their homework by credentialed tutors. Recently a parent raved about her child's vastly improved grades. The parent noted, "without the after school program, his success wouldn't be possible."
Open dohr employment and training program serves low-income youth and adults who are unemployed, underemployed, or lacking the necessary skills to compete in today's job market. Through programs for those with low english language proficiency and/or basic skill deficits, and "in-demand" occupational training programs, participants are prepared for career- oriented jobs such as emergency medical technician, customer service, certified nurse aide, and more. In addition, open dohr specilizes in providing holistic, intensive case management designed to identify logistical, social-emotional, financial and educational barriers to obtaining self-sufficiency. The program empowers students with the tools and information to reduce or eliminate these barriers and help them to achieve their goals.

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 2019 to 2020, from $2.0M to $5.0M (+148%).
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 73% · 2018 73% · 2019 76% · 2020 89% · 2021 90% · 2022 68% · 2023 63% · 2024 53%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
81% of WOMEN AND FAMILIES CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $582k → $1.1M.
4 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 WOMEN AND FAMILIES CENTER’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
WOMEN AND FAMILIES CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 WOMEN AND FAMILIES CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 89% · 2018 69% · 2019 67% · 2020 70% · 2021 71% · 2022 78% · 2023 82% — 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
69% of WOMEN AND FAMILIES CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 74% 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
99% of WOMEN AND FAMILIES CENTER's grant income comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $133k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
