Overview

Mission

501(c)(3) to teach and coach caregivers of traumatized or at-risk children

What it reported doing in 2025

We taught and coached caregivers of at-risk and traumatized children--foster and adoptive parents, teachers, social workers, and biological parents. We impacted roughly 230 individuals in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 74% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
