The remaining 15% supports essential operations, ensuring we can continue this work long-term.

Do you have a diverse and sustainable funding model?
Yes. We intentionally cultivate a diverse funding stream that includes grants, monthly donors, faith-based and corporate partnerships, and special event fundraising. This approach helps ensure we are not overly dependent on any one source and allows us to remain focused on mission over money.
How do you evaluate your programs and measure success?
We evaluate success by tracking both quantitative and qualitative outcomes—including housing stability, sobriety milestones, employment, family reunification, and relational support. Additionally, we gather feedback from participants, volunteers, and partner organizations to continuously improve.
How do you collaborate with other organizations in the space?
OpenDoor is built on partnership. We collaborate with courts, treatment centers, probation officers, peer support specialists, faith communities, and organizations like Freedom Recovery, Maryhaven, and Mommies Matter. These collaborations ensure wraparound support and continuity of care for each woman we serve.
How will my donation make a difference?
Your donation helps us provide the kind of consistent, caring, and practical support that women need after treatment or incarceration. From transportation to court, assistance with job interviews, or just having someone show up each week—your gift ensures that no woman walks alone.
What impact have you had so far? Can you share measurable results or success stories?
Since our founding, we’ve walked alongside dozens of women rebuilding their lives. Many have secured housing, reunited with children, obtained jobs, and maintained long-term sobriety. For example, Amanda, referred through the court’s diversion program, said: “I don’t know where I’d be without OpenDoor. I want to stay friends forever.” We are currently collecting formal data to publish in our next impact report.
