Overview

Mission

To empower individuals we serve by providing advocacy and therapeutic support through art therapy for children and teens who are victims or witnesses to domestic violence and sexual abuse.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community outreach: susos outreach and prevention programs are offered to partners in education, community, and faith-based sectors. We offer customized workshops and training to fit specific needs. For our partners in education we offer art-intervention and mindfulness enrichment clubs. Art-intervention provides therapeutic art to help guide youth in building confidence, self-esteem, managing maladaptive behaviors, and learning coping skills to manage emotional dysregulation. Mindfulness enrichment clubs help youth find creative and effective ways to manage their emotions, behaviors, and anxiety.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.
