Overview
Mission
To support families to ensure that every child lives a life free from abuse and neglect.
What it reported doing in 2025
Center for nurturing families - a community-wide prevention program where the organization helps families access resources and services to meet their immediate basic needs and decrease toxic stress. Through in-home case management, parent cafes, and community-wide education, families and caregivers are provided with information on parenting and managing the challenges that put their families at risk. They also are provided a social outlet to connect with others in similar circumstances. This improves overall family functioning, leading to improved child outcomes through safe, stable and nurturing homes.
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.
The verdict
STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
