The Window said it met a $300,000 benchmark and tightened financial controls ahead of a planned reopening
The Goshen social-services charity announced that it had raised its $300,000 stabilization benchmark and planned to reopen all programs on November 2. The organization said it strengthened financial processes, oversight and cash controls after pausing much of its programming amid higher demand, declining donations, delayed government funding and rising costs. It also named Erica Bailey transitional executive director while Josh Varab continued as director of operations.
