What it reported doing in 2024
Child Advocacy Center (CAC) CAC program stresses a child-focused multidisciplinaryapproach to investigation, prosecution, and treatment of child abuse cases. CAC further strives to support healing for children and to hold offenders accountable. A CAC is a safe place where a child and their protective caregiver can visit to address a concern of serious abuse. At a CAC, they can receive wraparound services from a team of professionals; such as a child-friendly forensic interview, medical evaluation, safety planning by child protection, referrals to behavioral health and other services, investigation of the crime by law enforcement and prosecution, and support with navigating through the overall process.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 91% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
