Project Woman

What Project Woman does

Project Woman is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 23-7391095) founded in 1976 and headquartered at 525 East Home Road in Springfield, Ohio. The organization delivers trauma-informed crisis intervention, emergency shelter, and recovery services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking in Clark and Champaign Counties, Ohio. Its service portfolio spans a 24-hour crisis hotline (1-800-634-9893), an emergency temporary shelter, a transitional housing program branded as Chrysalis, mental health and recovery services, individualized legal and medical advocacy, case management, survivor education, and community-based prevention programming. Multilingual service delivery is offered in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, and a dedicated Ohio Human Trafficking Hotline (844-END-OHHT) is operated alongside integration with the statewide Crisis Text Line (text 4HOPE to 741741).

The business model is donation-funded rather than revenue-generating. Project Woman is a private nonprofit with no parent company, no identified institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds; it relies on charitable contributions, in-kind donations from a published Wish List, volunteer labor, and community fundraising events such as the annual Candlelight Vigil (held each October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month) and the Diva Night Out annual fundraiser. The organization reports headcount in the 11–50 range, supports transparency through the Council on Accreditation (CoA) review process, and conducts outreach primarily through its own website (projectwomanohio.org), Facebook (@Project-Woman-179029325707), Instagram (@projectwomanohio), and email newsletters. There are no commercial products, no proprietary software, no patents, and no disclosed technology platform beyond standard web, CRM, and text-based crisis tooling provided by third parties.
