Overview
Mission
Protecting Children, Strengthening Families, and Preventing Child Abuse.
What it reported doing in 2024
The family support center remained open and deeply committed to supporting families in our community while advancing our mission of protecting children, strengthening families, and preventing child abuse. We were excited to welcome a new executive director, who helped establish new relationships within the community and with prospective donors. We also focused on recruiting and developing a more engaged board to support events, fundraising, and employee engagement. Through our crisis nurseries, we provided free emergency and respite childcare for children under age 12. Over the year, we delivered 9,246 hours of free emergency childcare to 482 children through 2,473 safe nursery visits, ensuring families in crisis had immediate support and children received compassionate, trauma-informed care. With focused investment in these core services, the family support center entered the year on stronger financial footing and with more streamlined operations. This stability allows us to sustain high-quality, trauma- informed care for families while positioning the organization for continued growth and impact in the years ahead.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 68% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
