Programs
Crisis intervention:the women's resource center (wrc) offers the only 24-hour crisis line and emergency shelter in beaverhead and madison counties in southwest montana. Our advocates are trained to provide crisis intervention, safety planning, and referral support to callers 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Shelter services are for those who are seeking safety from domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. The shelter is in a secure location with 24-hour security. Additional crisis intervention services provided to clients in need include material assistance (e.g., food, fuel, clothing, hygiene products), relocation, as well as medical, law enforcement, and court accompaniment. We strive to provide individuals fleeing from domestic and sexual violence with the safety and resources needed to allow them to cope with their victimization and begin the process of rebuilding their lives. All services are free and confidential.
$61,921 spent15% of program spendingAdvocacy:advocacy services provided to victims of domestic and sexual violence are multifaceted and based upon an individual's and/or family's needs. Victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking need to know their rights and what services are available to them. Advocates assess each victim's unique needs and offer appropriate services or referrals to supportive resources. Clients are not required to report to law enforcement, but for those who do, we provide legal and court advocacy to victims, including assisting clients in filing and obtaining restraining orders and no contact orders. Advocates do not represent the victim legally but act as a support person as the victim navigates the judicial system. Additional services include safe housing, material support, and referrals. All supportive services are provided in a trauma-informed and empowerment-based manner. All services are free and confidential.

Through training sessions, presentations, and awareness campaigns, wrc fosters a coordinated effort to address…

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 2017 to 2018, from $118k to $521k (+341%).
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 83% · 2018 82% · 2019 70% · 2020 71% · 2022 86% · 2023 85% · 2024 74% · 2025 65%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $4k → $13k.
3 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 WOMENS RESOURCE CENTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 11 of 12 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
WOMENS RESOURCE CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 63% · 2019 53% · 2020 54% · 2021 54% · 2022 99% · 2023 56% — 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
43% of WOMENS RESOURCE CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% 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
WOMENS RESOURCE CENTER draws 63% of its grant income from funders outside Montana, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $28k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
