Overview

Mission

We are building communities where children are free from abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention, and advocacy efforts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Child abuse prevention education programs work to find ways to prevent child abuse through a variety of community-tailored education programs and collaborative efforts. These programs are provided at no cost to any group or organization in saginaw, bay and huron counties reaching more than 4,000 elementary, middle and high school students and more than 1,500 professionals. Countless others are reached through newsletters, information fairs, media appearances and coverage, and campaigns such as child abuse prevention month.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 73% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some related-organization disclosures are missing and expenses are high relative to revenue.
