Overview

Mission

We provide a safe harbor and supportive environment for at-risk children and youth, while helping families in our community navigate and overcome lifes challenges.

What it reported doing in 2024

Residential program: childrens harbor provides nurturing, family group homes for youth/siblings and pregnant/parenting teens in the foster care system on our beautiful 8 acre campus in pembroke pines, Florida. We have four homes dedicated to caring for youth/sibling groups. Each home cares for six foster children allowing for 24 children in our youth/sibling homes. This program is designed to break the cycle of abuse and increase healthy habits and behaviors. We have one home dedicated to serving pregnant and parenting teens with their babies. This is the only program in broward county, Florida dedicated to teen moms and their babies. We provide education for moms to successfully care for themselves and their children. The organization received $3,524,130 of government grants related to this program during the year which are reflected within government grants (contributions) on form 990, page 9, part viii, line 1e.

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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
