Case Study: REDEEM

Redeem is a nonprofit organization that assists children who are victims of abuse and women who are victims of domestic violence. Redeem services include emergency shelter, advocacy services, outreach, and education programs for battered women and their children. The Redeem Shelter and Advocacy Program is often the only opportunity for women and children to achieve productive and violence free lives. Redeem Programs and Services, located at three sites, are designed to complement each other and provide clients with comprehensive care. For the past 2 years, Redeem has been forced to let some of its key staff go because of serious budget cuts. Consequently, Redeem is struggling to help some of its clients. The next fiscal year will be worse if the organization cannot generate additional income.
