What it reported doing in 2022

Kidsafe foundation (organization) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2009 to keep children safe. By teaching personal safety to children and their grown-ups, children can become healthy, empowered adults with skills in resiliency and confidence. By providing kidsafe programming in schools, to parents and child-serving professionals online and in seminars, kidsafe has served over 60,000 children and over 35,000 adults. The organization is primarily supported through donor contributions and grants. The statistics reported by the center for disease control are staggering. Every nine minutes, a substantiated case of child sexual abuse is reported (rainn) and one in ten children will be sexually exploited before the age of 18. Ninety percent of the time they are harmed by someone they know and trust, and over sixty percent of the time they are harmed by a family member. Our education directly addresses child trafficking through prevention: over eighty percent of children who become victims of sex trafficking have a history of child sexual abuse. Prevention education is the key to making sure our children are protected. Empowered children become powerful adults mission statement: kidsafe's mission is to provide prevention education to children and adults, empowering them with skills that create a safe society free from sexual abuse, bullying and internet exploitation. Vision: every person is empowered with the education and tools to stay safe. Core purpose: empowered children become powerful adults.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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.

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.
