About REFUGE FOR WOMEN
Refuge for Women (EIN 26-4388243) is a faith-based, donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides residential care, counseling, life and work skills training, and long-term housing for adult women who have escaped sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Texas, the organization operates a national network of regional homes and programs (including locations listed as Chicago, Kentucky, Las Vegas, North Texas and the Texas Gulf Coast) and operates a survivor employment initiative (Survivor Made) to create pathway employment and artisan work for program graduates. The EIN and identity of the organization were verified against the charity's published IRS Form 990 and the organization’s own filings; recent audited financial reports and annual reports (2022–2024) document organizational growth (reporting $6,520,135 in gross receipts on the 2022 Form 990) and multiple foundation grants and audited financial statements in 2023–2024. Refuge for Women is accredited by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and maintains publicly available annual reports and audits.
