Overview

Mission

Voices For Children is dedicated to serving the child victim and victim families of child abuse in Genesee & Shiawassee County and enhancing the lives of all children through education and increasing community involvement.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization serves hundreds of Genesee & Shiawassee County children through the CASA and forensic interview programs. With our trained staff we provide a safe place to conduct child-friendly interviews bringing together a team of prosecutors, law enforcement, protective service workers, medical personnel and advocates to investigate cases. We also provide a series of prevention programs including programs to educate the community about abuse and how to recognize/prevent it.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 filed totals do not add up.
