Overview

Mission

The organization provides services related to child abuse treatment and prevention. The organization provides treatment for affected individuals and prevention and training for victims and their families through child services, victim's assistance, supervised visitation, and family services programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 63% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
