What Women's Prison Association and Home does
Mission
Founded in 1845, wpa is the nation's first organization dedicated to serving women and gender-diverse individuals impacted by incarceration and injustice. Rooted in new york city, wpa utilizes a gender-responsive, trauma-informed model of support by providing justice-impacted women and their families with the essential services needed to remain in their communities, heal, and thrive. Wpa ultimately strives to make incarceration for women obsolete.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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.
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 $3.3M to $5.8M (+77%).
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.
