CLIENTS ACCESS THE SHELTER THROUGH SAFE NEST'S CRISIS HOTLINE OR OTHER DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAMS; REFERRALS COME FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE COURT SYSTEM, OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE PROVIDERS; OR SELF-REFERRAL AS A RESULT OF SAFE NEST'S OUTREACH EFFORTS. AFTER A SAFETY ASSESSMENT IS CONDUCTED, CRISIS ADVOCATES ARRANGE FOR CLIENTS' TRANSPORTATION TO SHELTER. FOOD, CLOTHING AND ALL NECESSITIES ARE PROVIDED.

SHELTER STAFF PROVIDE RESOURCES TO HELP THE FAMILY ACCOMPLISH THEIR OBJECTIVES. SHELTER STAYS VARY; THE CURRENT AVERAGE IS 56 DAYS. SHELTER CLIENTS ARE ALSO PROVIDED WITH EMPLOYMENT COUNSELING, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, REFERRALS FOR FINANCIAL AND LEGAL AID, AND MANY OTHER RESOURCES. THROUGH SAFE NEST'S PET PROGRAM, FAMILIES STAYING AT SHELTER HAVE ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE OPTIONS TO BOARD THEIR PETS WHILE THEY RECEIVE SERVICES. IN 2017, SAFE NEST ESTABLISHED PROJECT SAFE 417 (PS417) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT (LVMPD) TO DECREASE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDE AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF VICTIMS DIRECTLY AT THE SCENES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENTS. PS417 UTILIZES SAFE NEST VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDE ON-THE-SCENE CRISIS INTERVENTION TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS IN THE TIME IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT OF ABUSE.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
