Where we are
The Joyful Woman Project is in its founding and development stage. Our first annual filings, financial reports and program results will be added here as they become available. We will distinguish goals and projections from completed outcomes and will update this page as the organization grows.
What we intend to measure
No counters, no impact figures, no testimonials until programs have run and participants have consented. These are the measures we are building toward.
- Number of women participating in programs.
- Number and type of restorative experiences offered.
- Participant access, including free or subsidized participation.
- Participant-reported changes in connection, clarity, stress and well-being.
- Participant satisfaction and repeat engagement.
- Referrals to qualified practitioners and community resources.
- Community partnerships and in-kind contributions.
- Healing House project milestones and use of capital funds.
