Acres of Diamonds

What Acres of Diamonds does

Acres of Diamonds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Duvall, Washington (EIN 91-1684691), delivering transitional housing and wraparound support services to homeless mothers and their children in Western Washington. The core program pairs safe accommodation with a structured living plan, on-site counseling, parenting support, life-skills training (budgeting, job readiness, housing preparation), and trauma-informed care for the children; the organization reports that 100% of women and children from abusive situations are now safe, 94% of families are in stable housing, and 92% of women in addiction are clean and sober. In fall 2021 it extended the care model with Beyond Acres, an aftercare program offering ongoing case management, counseling, coaching, and community resources to graduates of Acres of Diamonds and its partner Compassion House.

The organization operates on a donations-only revenue model; all housing and programs are provided free of charge to qualifying residents, with no program fees. Funding flows through a diversified set of giving channels: an Etapestry online donation portal processing credit cards via Braintree/PayPal, charitable stock transfers through Charles Schwab (account #3300-7436), IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, Donor Advised Funds, employer matching, planned/legacy gifts, in-kind item drives, and an Amazon Wish List. The flagship fundraising event is the annual Diamond Dinner, hosted at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue (next iteration September 26, 2026) and supported by named corporate sponsors including Lionscove Marigold, Kelley Create, McHale, Capstone, and Sno-Falls.

Technically, Acres of Diamonds does not operate a proprietary platform; program delivery is human-led (case managers, counselors, parenting and life-skills instructors) and the technology footprint is a standard small-nonprofit stack (WordPress website, Etapestry/Braintree for donations, Microsoft Forms for program intake, BambooHR for hiring, Facebook and Instagram for organic social). Beneficiary access is by application or referral, primarily from Compassion House and community partners, with services delivered on-site in Western Washington. The organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors, is privately held as a charitable entity, and reports between 11 and 50 staff.

Core offering

Acres of Diamonds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides transitional housing, on-site counseling, parenting support, and life-skills training to homeless mothers and their children in Western Washington.

All programs are provided free of charge to qualifying beneficiaries, with operations funded entirely through charitable donations, grants, and fundraising events.

Product overview

Acres of Diamonds operates as a single, unified nonprofit program rather than a platform with modular components. The core offering is the Acres of Diamonds Program, a structured transitional housing initiative for homeless mothers and children. This central program is complemented by Women's Programs and Children's Programs that provide specialized support services. The Beyond Acres program (launched fall 2021) serves as an add-on module providing ongoing post-residency support including case management, counseling, and coaching. Additional program features include the Kid's Program (structured children's activities), Community/Celebration Dinners (monthly family events), and Class Workshops covering life skills topics. The organization also hosts the annual Diamond Dinner as its primary fundraising event.
