Overview

Mission

Missouri kidsfirst's mision is to empower adults to protect children from abuse. This is accomplished by adressing the response to child abuse when it occurs, prevention efforts to keep abuse from happening, and public policy advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, mo-naca completed the first full year of the statewide commercial sexual exploitation of children (csec) program. During this time, mo-naca coordinated an unprecedented amount of specialized training on addressing csec for medical providers, mdt members, forensic interviewers and mental health professionals. This program was made possible through an appropriation from the Missouri legislature in 2023 and is a partnership between mo-naca and four selected cac csec sites: children's advocacy center of northeast Missouri, children's center of southwest Missouri, ozark foothills child advocacy center (kvc) and the child protection center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 88% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
