Overview

Mission

Caregiver's Helper is to equip foster/respite parents with the proper tools and support to train children to become productive and fulfilled citizens, specializing in such services as counseling, foster care, independent living skills, parenting classes, and crisis management.

What it reported doing in 2024

Caregivers Helpers mission is protection of children who have experienced different types of traumas from re-traumatization. We promote childrens best interest by placing them in safe, healthy, nurturing, and theraputic foster homes, that we recruit and license; after the homes have successfully met all requirements including background checks and training. We ensure the families we license are thoroughly screened and can care for children as their own. The primary focus of the agency remains to consistently recruit, screen, train, assess, and license foster care applicants who are interested in helping children ages 0-18 years who are in temporary care, (continued on Schedule O)

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
