Activities or mission (Part I)
Project Sanctuary believes that when one person serves, the whole family serves, envisioning a world where military families find healing, strength, and a lifeline to a more hopeful future together. We assist military service members by reconnecting the family unit through a holistic approach. Our program heals the traumatic effects of military service, treating all members of the family at their level of need and enabling the service members to reintegrate into their families and communities in a healthy and sustainable manner. Project Sanctuarys work preserves the family unit, strengthening the community, the military, and the country.

Therapeutic Retreat Program:Project Sanctuarys therapeutic retreat program offers military families a way to recover, reconnect and build their capacity to support one another through recreation therapy and classes focused on communication skills, navigating life with Post Traumatic Stress and understanding the financial needs of your family. This results-driven program is run by culturally competent professionals, licensed counselors, Certified Therapeutic Recreational Specialists and supported by volunteers, many of whom have experienced the program themselves. The six-day experience includes Relationship Reset, Post Traumatic Stress, and financial awareness workshops, one-on-one time with a financial planner and / or counselors if desired, and age-appropriate youth / teen activities that mirror the adults curriculum. In FY23, 197 military families comprised of more than 704 people were supported at 18 therapeutic retreats.
Expenses $1,566,578
-
Family Support Program:Project Sanctuarys Family Support program, led by a licensed clinical social worker includes individualized case management support beginning the minute families reach out for help and continues as they return home from their therapeutic retreat experience to implement the tools they learned. Families can reach out at any time when needs arise for resource referrals, emergency financial assistance, or added support to navigate challenges they are experiencing. Each couple/family has a personalized level of support based on their own specific needs. Our team works with vetted experts both nationally and locally to connect families with best-fit resources. The top most requested needs include mental health / overall wellness, financial challenges, caregiver support, marriage / family counseling and veteran benefits. In FY23, 118 cases were supported by the Project Sanctuary Family Support team.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
