New Beginnings

What New Beginnings does

New Beginnings is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization, founded in 1976, that provides comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence and their children across the Seattle/King County region. Its service portfolio centers on a 24/7 DVHopeline crisis helpline (in-house advocacy 6am–10pm, transferred to the National Domestic Violence Hotline overnight), emergency and transitional housing through the Home Safe program (including pet-friendly confidential shelter), legal advocacy covering protection/restraining orders and Extreme Risk Protection Orders, peer support groups, and survivor safety-planning resources. The organization operates a wholly-owned sub-brand, Crushin' It, delivering a healthy-relationships curriculum in approximately 10 Seattle-area middle schools alongside a dedicated teen web portal at teen.newbegin.org.

Beyond direct survivor services, New Beginnings runs a Technology Enabled Coercive Control (TECC) Clinic staffed by trained volunteers to address tech-facilitated abuse, and a paid training and workshops line targeting employers, healthcare providers, social service agencies, teachers, and community groups. The organization is privately held as an independent nonprofit governed by a Board of Directors, with reported headcount of 1,001–5,000 employees, and is funded entirely through charitable donations, foundation grants, employer gift matching, and workplace giving — all direct services to survivors are provided free of charge. No revenue, budget, or financial statements are publicly disclosed. Distribution is regional (King County, WA), with awareness channels spanning the main website, teen portal, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, email newsletters via Constant Contact, community outreach events, and referral partnerships with healthcare and social-service providers.
