Overview

Mission

Our mission: to prevent child abuse and neglect in all its forms - physical, sexual, emotional and neglect - through education, support, and public awareness.

What it reported doing in 2024

Healthy families provides in-home visits by family support workers to overburdened parents of newborns. Staff offer parenting education, support, and information on community resources for up to 4 years after the birth of a child. Families receiving intensive home visiting are more likely to be linked to a medical provider (currently 98%) and have children fully immunized; they are much less likely to have a repeat teen pregnancy (currently just 1 out of 37 participating teens) or substantiated abuse or neglect. Over 130 families at risk for abuse/neglect received thousands of home visits in our latest reporting year. One young mom told us that her family support worker is a blessing in her life, listens to her and builds her confidence, helps her find solutions for her problems, and inspires her to be a better parent and person.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 71% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
