At Wind Haven Foundation, integrity, accountability, and transparency are core to our mission. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are committed to stewarding our resources responsibly and maintaining the trust of our survivors, supporters, donors, and community partners.
Wind Haven Foundation is a non-sectarian, inclusive nonprofit organization whose roots are faith-informed and survivor-led. While our flagship recovery program blends faith and science in a holistic, trauma-informed approach, participation in any spiritual content is never required, but all are invited. All core services—including housing support, food assistance, and community programs—are open to individuals of any background, with no religious affiliation or belief required. We are committed to equity, dignity, and access for all.
