Overview

Mission

To protect children, support families, and bring hope and healing through compassionate, coordinated, and child-centered advocacy, through specialized programs and services, such as multi-disciplinary team coordination, forensic interviewing, ongoing case management, referral services, and continued advocacy and support for the well-being of the child victim, supportive caregivers and overall family unit.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provision of a child-friendly, victim-centered, trauma-informed facility and associated programs, that supports child-victims of neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and/or children that have been exposed to domestic violence or violent crimes, with a best practice, multi-disciplinary response that provides advocacy from the time of outcry, through the investigation and prosecution processes (if applicable).

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 74% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
