Overview
Mission
The anti-violence partnership of philadelphia (avp) is a victim service agency whose mission is to end the cycle of violence in our community by providing free intervention, prevention, and support services to children, youth, and adult victims of violence and co-victims of homicide and their families, to help them rebuild their lives in the aftermath of violence.
What it reported doing in 2024
Founded in 1983, the anti-violence partnership of philadelphia (avp) is the only organization in philadelphia whose mission is to end the cycle of violence by providing free intervention, prevention, and support services to children, youth, and adult victims of violence and co-victims of homicide. Avp was originally founded as a support group for families who had lost a loved one to homicide. Avp's original program, families of murder victims, quickly became a valuable support for co-victims of homicide by offering court accompaniment, advocacy, and immediate support. That program continues today. Avp provides further critical support services to victims of violence and co-victims of homicide through its west/southwest victim services and counseling center. Avp also provides prevention and trauma therapy services to students, and psychoeducational support to staff, administrators, and caregivers, in nearly 40 philadelphia public schools.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 90% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
