Overview

Mission

Support for abused children in houston and trinity counties

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided forensic interviewing, referral service for counseling, and court accompaniment services for children that are the victims of a crime of abuse. Also provided related educational services to the community.

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
