Activities or mission (Part I)

SAFETY FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

  • DIRECT SERVICES / OUTREACH / EMERGENCY SHELTERThe majority of those served by SAFE were served via our crisis hotline, and we responded to a total of 479 requests for service on our hotline this year. Callers on the hotline were provided with access to SAFE's emergency shelter, supported with legal advocacy and provided with information about community resources. For those reaching out to SAFE for support over this year, housing remained the most requested type of assistance. SAFE provided a total of 3,837 nights of emergency shelter for 56 adults and 41 children during this year. Those residing in the emergency shelter were typically fleeing domestic or sexual violence, and the availability of emergency shelter meant that these families did not have to make the choice between remaining in an unsafe home or facing homelessness.

    Expenses $442,914

  • TRANSITIONAL HOUSING / RAPID REHOUSING SAFE also continued to provide transitional housing for families for up to two years and communitybased rental assistance for individuals and families fleeing domestic violence. Our transitional housing program provided safe housing for thirteen families, including 26 children and our rapid-rehousing program provided rental support for 21 adults and 27 children this year. These programs offer families safe and affordable housing while families transition from an unsafe home toward a selfdirected future free of violence. As a result of living in safe, affordable housing, families were able to focus on healing from trauma and securing resources necessary to live lives that are self-directed and violence-free.

    Expenses $336,088 · Grants $72,594

  • THRIFT STOREOperation of the Thrift Store provides opportunities for survivors to volunteer or to obtain paid work experience. Survivors utilizing SAFE services are able to access needed items using SAFE vouchers. Proceeds from the thrift store fund housing, services, and community programs for survivors.

    Expenses $180,072

  • COALITION - COMMUNITY EDUCATIONIn addition to directly serving survivors, SAFE continued to provide community education, public awareness and community leadership regarding the issues of domestic and sexual violence in Ravalli County. During this year, 748 youth participated in school-based educational programs. Public awareness activities during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month reached hundreds of individuals in our community. SAFE also organized and created a SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) with local law enforcement and Bitterroot Health.

    Expenses $142,063

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
