Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO IMPROVE THE EDUCATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF UNDER-RESOURCED APPALACHIAN WOMEN.

Activities or mission (Part I)

RESIDENTIAL AND ONLINE PROGRAMS PROVIDE TOOLS AND SUPPORT FOR APPALACHIAN WOMEN TO BUILD STABLE AND FULFILLING LIVES.

  • IN 2023, THE NEW OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL FOR WOMEN AIMED TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE PARTNERSHIPS WE'D MADE AND GROW OUR PROGRAMING THROUGH THIS FOUNDATIONAL NETWORK. IN RETROSPECT, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN BOTH OF THESE GOALS. WE CONDUCTED SEVERAL INFORMATIONAL SELF-ESTEEM WORKSHOPS FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CENTERS INCLUDING HOPE'S WINGS IN RICHMOND AND DOVES IN MOREHEAD. WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SERVING WOMEN IN CRISIS AND PLANTING THE SEEDS OF THE BENEFITS OF SELF-CARE WORK THAT WILL, HOPEFULLY, BLOOM FOR THEM ONE DAY. AT THE VERY LEAST, WE ARE OFFERING IMPACTFUL PROGRAMS FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS SERVING WOMEN AND INFORMING THEM OF HOW NOSW PROGRAMS CAN BE A PART OF THEIR CONTINUUM OF CARE. OUR PARTNER SITES ARE APPRECIATIVE OF WHAT WE BRING AND ALWAYS ASK US TO RETURN. OUR OTHER WORKSHOP PROGRAM IS OUR MONTHLY GRADUATE GROUP MEETINGS WHICH MEET EVERY 3RD THURSDAY ON ZOOM FOR MEANINGFUL CONTENT AND NETWORKING. THESE SESSIONS GREW IN ATTENDANCE IN 2023, PARTICULARLY AFTER OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM GRADUATES BEGAN TO JOIN MORE OFTEN.IN ADDITION TO THE DELIVERY OF THE WORKSHOPS, 2023 IS THE FIRST YEAR SINCE THE PANDEMIC THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE ADDED MORE PROGRAMS TO OUR SCHEDULE THAN WE ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR. OUR 3-DAY PROGRAM HAS BEEN GAINING MOMENTUM. OUR APPLICATIONS TO ATTEND THESE PROGRAMS GREW BY 50% AND WE RECOGNIZED THAT WE NEEDED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 3-DAY SESSION TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE APPLICANTS. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE WONDERFUL INSIGHTS AND TOOLS FOR SELF-ESTEEM, WELLNESS, AND MOTIVATION WHICH PARTICIPANTS WALK AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM MORE ENLIGHTENED VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES. FINALLY, OUR BIGGEST PROGRAM, THE TWO-WEEK RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM HAS ALSO GAINED NOTORIETY AND IN THE SUMMER OF 2023 OUR ATTENDANCE GREW TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS ONCE AGAIN. WE GRADUATED 16 LADIES FROM THE TWO SESSIONS WE HELD IN 2023, WHICH WAS AN ALMOST 50% INCREASE FROM 2022. THESE NUMBERS ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR US AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT 2024 WILL BE EVEN STRONGER.

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.

Grants received

Other IRS files

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2023, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
