Overview

Mission

Child usadvocacy is an advocacy organization dedicated to end child abuse and neglect by advocating for better laws and child protection; including lobbying for laws, regulations, and public programs to end child abuse and neglect.

What it reported doing in 2024

Child usadvocacy primarily focuses on submitting testimony to state legislatures across the country, lobbying and drafting legislation for lawmakers, educating the public through op-eds, speaking at press conferences, and appearing on news outlets to push for reform on laws focused on statute of limitations for child sex abuse, abuse and neglect of athletes, family courts, conversion therapy, medical neglect, educational neglect, and child marriage. Our accomplishments from 2024 include: 1) helped draft and move new sol laws or resolutions; including eliminating the criminal sol, extending the criminal sol, eliminating the civil sol, extending the civil sol, and civil window/revival laws in various states. 2) submitted amicus briefs focused specifically on sols and defending their constitutionality/the elimination of notice of claims. 3) drafted and secured sponsors for federal legislation to amend chapter 11 bankruptcy to make it more survivor-centered and held a press conference ahead of its introduction in congress.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
