Financials & Reports

Women In Distress of Broward County, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is Broward County’s only nationally accredited, state-certified domestic violence center. For over 47 years, Women In Distress has provided services and programs, at no cost, to families in need. This is due to funding from the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Broward County, United Way, individuals, municipalities, private and corporate foundations, and the organization’s thrift store. Women In Distress raises additional funds every year through special events, campaigns, and other support. Our Board of Directors and staff maintain the very highest standards and level of professionalism in managing our funds.

Women In Distress is the only nationally accredited, state-certified, full-service domestic violence center serving Broward County.

This means that The Council on Accreditation (COA) has verified that Women In Distress consistently operates with integrity, credibility and the utmost level of quality. The accreditation process takes place every four years. Women In Distress participates in a detailed review and analysis of the administrative operations and service delivery against national standards of best practice. COA is an independent accreditor of the full continuum of community-based behavioral health care and social service organizations in the United States and Canada, and is one of the three leading accreditors of such service providers. COA is widely recognized by states and national organizations as an accrediting body with the capacity, scope, and ability to contribute significantly to the improvement of the behavioral health and social service delivery systems. Originally known as an accrediting body for family and children’s agencies, COA has earned public recognition from mental health and substance abuse organizations as well.
