Overview
Mission
The alliance, working closely with law enforcement officials and dcyf, facilitates a multidisciplinary approach to child abuse investigations. Additionally it provides statewide education, training and support for the 11 child advocacy centers of New Hampshire.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization provides cac membership services, training, professional development, technical assistance and statewide representation to the network of eleven nationally accredited child advocacy centers (cacs) in New Hampshire and their multi-disciplinary teams. Know & tell is a professional development program of the granite state children's alliance. It is all our responsibility to protect children from abuse. Know & tell educates all adults to know the signs of abuse and tell responsible authorities when they recognize a child needs help. It is based on three elements: educate - learn the signs of neglect, physical, and sexual abuse to identify a child victim and understand your responsibility as a mandated reporter; inform - know how and when to report suspected abuse (see schedule o) when a child needs your help; protect - recognize your role in the child protection system. The know & tell training is conducted in-person or online.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 79% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
