Starting Point aims to address and solve the problem of domestic and sexual violence, which are forms of abuse that can happen within intimate or familial relationships. Starting Point provides support and services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, including counseling, legal advocacy, emergency shelter, and other resources to help them escape abusive situations and rebuild their lives.

The problem of domestic and sexual violence is a serious and widespread issue that affects individuals and families from all walks of life.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
