Overview

Mission

Little fork family advocacy center brings trauma-informed care closer to home for families in rural southwest Ohio. Through trusted partnerships and compassionate services, we support children and families impacted by abuse and trauma - offering a safe, healing space in their own community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Little fork offers supervised family visitation services designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for families reuniting after periods of separation. These structured sessions promote healthy interactions, foster emotional security, and enhance confidence, supporting the process of family reintegration. The primary objective is to cultivate trust and comfort between parents and children by reinforcing their familial relationships.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 62% 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.
