Overview

Mission

Pee dee coalition is a private, non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to the reduction of sexual assault, family violence, and child abuse and to the needs of its victims in the seven-county pee dee region of sc which includes florence, darlington, marion, chesterfield, marlboro, dillon, and williamsburg counties. The coalition accomplishes its mission through (1) direct victim assistance including 24-hour crisis intervention and support services, emergency safe shelter for female family violence victims and their children, and a multidisciplinary children's advocacy center; and (2) a comprehensive prevention education program, domestic violence offender intervention program, and widespread community education and training.

What it reported doing in 2024

Alternatives to violence program - a 26-week educational group program for domestic violence offenders. Groups are active in seven counties of the region and meet on a variety of days and times to provide easy access. The program has been approved to accept referrals from local magistrates and municipal judges and also accepts referrals from other sources as well as voluntary participation by group members. During the fiscal year, 324 domestic violence offenders were enrolled in the atv program. Graduates are eligible to participate in caring dads, a 17-week evidence based program available in person and virtually, focusing on fathers promoting healthy relationships with their children and the children's mothers, as well as couples counseling, a 6-week program offering one-on-one sessions in person or virtually with a licensed professional counselor for couples facing co-parenting and relationship challenges.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filed totals do not add up.
