Putnam/Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center

What Putnam/Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center does

The Putnam/Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center (WRC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1979 and headquartered in Mahopac, New York, serving victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and interpersonal violence across Putnam County and Northern Westchester County. The organization operates as a NYS Department of Health Certified Rape Crisis Program and NYS Licensed Domestic Violence Shelter, delivering free and confidential services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Core service lines include a 15-bed confidential emergency shelter, a 24/7 crisis hotline, a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program with hospital advocacy, adult and child/adolescent trauma therapy, court and police advocacy, case management, support groups, and housing assistance programs (Rapid Rehousing and Rental Supplement). The organization also conducts community outreach, education, and training for schools, law enforcement, hospitals, and community organizations.

The technology footprint is minimal: a standard website with web forms for donations, volunteer registration, and event registration, supplemented by cookie and web server log analytics. There are no mobile apps, no APIs, no proprietary platforms, and no digital identity system beyond the website. Service delivery relies on direct human contact via hotline, in-person at the resource center and shelter, video conferencing, and field-based advocacy at hospitals and courts. Strategic partnerships with Pace Women's Justice Center, the Children's Advocacy Center, Cove Care Center, Putnam County Department of Social Services, and United Way 211 provide referrals and complementary services such as civil legal representation, mental health, and social services coordination.

The business model is a community-based donation and grant-supported nonprofit. Revenue streams include individual donations in tiers from $25 to $1,500+, recurring monthly donations, corporate event sponsorships (Bronze $500-$999 through Purple $5,000-$10,000), annual fundraising events (the Walk for a Safer Tomorrow, a Restaurant Raffle, and a Gala with silent auctions), in-kind donations of supplies and gift cards, and likely government and foundation grants not enumerated in the source. All direct services are provided free of charge to clients. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Maryellen Martirano, with day-to-day operations run by Executive Director Piaget Solpiaget and an Associate Executive Director, plus senior directors overseeing operations, programs and services, mental health and forensic interviewing, advocacy and case management, and the shelter.
