Mission
To provide safe housing, critical services, and ground-breaking programs to help homeless women and their children rebuild their lives.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Win operates 16 transitional housing residences serving over 1,900 families across all five boroughs of New York City. Win delivers holistic support services-including education, workforce development, and assisting in securing permanent housing-to help families achieve long-term stability. The program addresses complex challenges such as physical and mental health needs, substance use, legal barriers, domestic violence, access to benefits, and social connection.
$133,382,437 spent$716,640 earned by the program86% of program spendingIn fiscal year 2025, WIN operated 457 supportive housing units, providing essential services to over 1,395 women and their children. This includes young mothers who have transitioned out of the foster care system, families with histories of intimate partner violence, individuals recovering from substance use disorders, and families experiencing multiple episodes of homelessness. Many of these individuals face significant challenges, including a lack of basic living skills, a history of never having stable housing, and early childhood trauma, which may include emotional, sexual, and physical abuse. To address these needs, WIN offers a comprehensive range of services, including counseling, case management, vocational and educational support, as well as workshops focused on parenting, budgeting skills, and the development of community support systems.

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 2022 to 2023, from $50M to $503M (+899%).
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 89% · 2018 91% · 2019 87% · 2020 90% · 2021 89% · 2022 90% · 2023 87% · 2024 84% · 2025 92%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of WOMEN IN NEED INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (17% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 42 funders to 94 funders, grant income rose $1.7M → $6.5M.
30 of 238 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 IN NEED INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 238 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
WOMEN IN NEED INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
39% 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 IN NEED INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 29% · 2019 30% · 2020 22% · 2021 34% · 2022 37% · 2023 31% — 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
44% of WOMEN IN NEED INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
52% of WOMEN IN NEED INC's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10M arriving through sponsors registered in 17 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.
