• THE MEDICAL ADVOCACY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM ("MAPP") PROVIDES TWENTY-FOUR HOUR RESPONSE TO OUR LOCAL HEALTHCARE FACILITIES AND HOSPITALS. WHEN A PERSON PRESENTS TO A HEALTHCARE FACILITY OR HOSPITAL AS A PATIENT AND DISCLOSES, THEY HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE OR SEXUAL ASSAULT, THE HEALTHCARE STAFF CONTACTS OUR HOTLINE FOR A MAPP ADVOCATE TO PROVIDE AN IN-PERSON RESPONSE. UPON MEETING WITH THE PATIENT, THE MAPP ADVOCATE WILL ASSESS THE PATIENT'S NEEDS, ASSIST WITH SAFETY PLANNING, AND CONNECT THEM WITH OTHER SAFE BERKS SUPPORT SERVICES OR APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY RESOURCES. IN 2024-2025, THE MAPP ADVOCATES PROVIDED THESE SERVICES TO 318 CLIENTS. IN ADDITION TO THE HEALTHCARE FACILITY RESPONSE, THIS DEPARTMENT HAS 2 OVERNIGHT RAPID RESPONSE ADVOCATES WHO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES TO SURVIVORS AT THE BERKS COUNTY COURTHOUSE WHILE FILING A PETITION FOR AN EMERGENCY PROTECTION FROM ABUSE ORDER. IN 2024/2025, THE RAPID RESPONSE ADVOCATE PROVIDED THESE SUPPORT SERVICES TO 384 CLIENTS. MAPP ADVOCATES ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL TRAININGS TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND THEIR STAFF MEMBERS. PROVIDING EDUCATION TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IS A LARGE PART OF THIS DEPARTMENT'S MISSION AS WELL AS TABLING WELLNESS OR OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
