Overview

Mission

To teach safe parenting and prevent child abuse.

What it reported doing in 2019

Castle's core program is Safe Families. Safe Families provides home-based parent education and support to families who are at risk of abusing or neglecting their children. In weekly training sessions, professional parent educators work with parents to strengthen their ability to raise and discipline their children safely, using positive parenting techniques. The accomplishments of Safe Families are determined by rigorous outcome measures that show the following: 97% of families who complete the program remain abuse free for at least one year after completion. 100% of parents improve on a standardized parenting inventory. 94% of families reduce the risk factors that underline abuse, and build protective factors that allow them to succeed at parenting long after the Safe Families program has ended.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
