My Nonprofit Reviews

WOMAN Inc--is a nonprofit that just celebrated its 35th birthday as the leading domestic violence crisis line and support organization in the greater San Francisco area. What has struck me most in the several years I have served on the board is the passion, dedication and commitment to mission the staff have. To a person, their goal is to eradicate all forms of domestic violence. They work on intervention, support, counseling and partnering to help those that need help.

Often, domestic violence is shrouded in shame and gilt and too often, people that want help don't seek it. WOMAN Inc understands this and provides it services with compassion and discretion and makes those in crisis feel welcome, comfortable and empowered. In times when federal, state and municipal services are facing increasing budget pressures, it is often up to organizations such as WOMAN Inc to step up and fill the void. Over the last few years, the organization has strengthened its governance, deepened its partnership with funders and stakeholders, has added board members and has recruited and retained a staff that any organization would be envious to have-from the Executive Director, the Program Managers and to the Volunteers. I see the impact the organization has, on lives strengthened, on personal progress and resolve and in the impact and efficacy of its services.

If you have an interest in domestic violence, need support, advice and help or even someone just to speak with--you could not have a better friend than WOMAN Inc.
