Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Broad incumbents

• National Domestic Violence Hotline: The US's flagship 24/7 DV crisis line, offering real-time support, safety planning, and resources to survivors. Comparable because CTPM explicitly references the hotline as an emergency referral for survivors, and both serve overlapping survivor populations with crisis-adjacent services.
• Safe Horizon: One of the largest US nonprofits serving DV and crime survivors through shelters, hotlines, counseling, and court advocacy. Comparable as a comprehensive DV services nonprofit, though Safe Horizon operates at much larger scale and across a broader service portfolio than CTPM's faith-based niche.
• YWCA USA: A national federation of local YWCAs delivering DV programming, emergency shelter, and sexual violence response across the country. Comparable as a long-standing DV services nonprofit with both direct service and advocacy components, though YWCA operates secular, community-based services at much broader scale.
• National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: A national advocacy organization working to prevent DV through public policy, awareness campaigns, and resource provision. Comparable to CTPM as a domestic violence-focused nonprofit serving survivors and driving awareness, but operating at a national policy scale rather than CTPM's direct-service/retreat model.

Direct peers

• Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs (Duluth Model): Creator of the widely used Duluth Model power-and-control framework for DV intervention and advocate training. Comparable to CTPM because both train advocates and educate communities on abuse dynamics, with overlapping curriculum and survivor-facing education products.
• PeaceWorks (Chris Moles): A Christian ministry led by Chris Moles focused on domestic violence intervention and church leader training. Directly comparable because CTPM formally partners with PeaceWorks for co-presented content, and both serve the same faith-based DV training and church-equipping niche.
• FaithTrust Institute: A national, multifaith-based organization addressing sexual and domestic violence within faith communities. Highly comparable to CTPM because both target faith communities, train religious leaders on DV response, and produce survivor education resources that bridge theology and trauma-informed care.
• Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence: A nonprofit providing DV education, awareness, and survivor resources including training and outreach events. Comparable because both organizations run awareness events, publish survivor education content, and offer church/community training on domestic abuse response.
