Overview

Mission

To provide advocacy for victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, elder abuse and human trafficking.

What it reported doing in 2024

Amberly's Place Family Advocacy Center houses professionals to offer immediate crisis intervention, victim advocacy, video interviews and collection of forensic medical evidence to victims in a safe and nurturing environment. Victim advocates provide immediate crisis intervention and assistance 24/7 to include obtaining orders of protection, court escort, explaining the criminal justice process and helping victims understand and exercise their victim rights, safety planning and providing emergency needs such as shelter, food and transportation. Advocates are able to assist victims with accessing other community resources including emergency mental health services. Complete wrap-around services are offered. By acting as the central hub of investigation and advocacy, the team members are able to accomplish in hours what ordinarily takes several weeks and ultimately mitigate the trauma of thousands of victims a year. This multi-disciplinary approach to the response to child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse assures victims receive the services they need so they have the resources necessary to break heal and live healthy lives free from abuse. A total of 2,864 victims of abuse were served overall.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
