Prudence Crandall Center, INC. (the organization) is a nonprofit organization formed for the purpose of providing comprehensive prevention and intervention services for women, children and men affected by domestic violence. Established in 1973, the organization is the oldest domestic violence program in connecticut. In 1975, the organization opened the first shelter for battered women in the state. In 2009, the organization opened rose hill, a fully-renovated, state-of-art residential facility, home to its newly added transitional and permanent supportive housing programs. Today, the organization is one of the few programs in the country to offer the full spectrum of shelter, housing, and support services needed to meet the complex needs of victims of domestic violence, to promote safe, self- sufficient and independent lives, free of violence. Through all of its programs, the organization touches the lives of over 8,000 individuals annually through the region and state.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.

All figures are derived from public IRS Form 990 filings and are presented without evaluation of any organization. philanthropy.org does not rate, score, or rank organizations, including the pay comparisons above.
