Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE A SAFE, FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES HOPE, HEALTH AND HEALING TO TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.

  • THE DAKOTA CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER (DCAC) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1997 AS A RESPONSE TO CHILD ABUSE ACROSS THE STATE OF ND. WE WERE THE FIRST CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER IN THE STATE AND WAS ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE IN 1998. OVER THE PAST 27 YEARS, THE DCAC HAS GROWN TO BE A LEADER IN THE FIELD FOR CHILD ABUSE AND TRAUMA INTERVENTION. CURRENTLY THE DCAC SERVES OVER 1000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR FROM 57% OF THE STATE. THE MISSION OF THE DCAC IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE, FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES HOPE, HEALTH, AND HEALING TO TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. IN 2017 WE BECAME AN INDEPENDENT 501C3 ORGANIZATION. IN 2020 WE OPENED A SECOND LOCATION IN DICKINSON, ND WITH OUTREACH SERVICES TO MCKENZIE COUNTY (2022), STANDING ROCK RESERVATION (2022, AND STARK COUNTY (2023) TO INCREASE SERVICES FOR KIDS ACROSS THE STATE. IN 2024 WE PROVIDED OVER 19,000 SERVICES TO OVER 1,000 PEOPLE, SERVING VICTIMS FROM 57% OF THE COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA. ALL OF OUR SERVICES ARE FREE OF CHARGE TO FAMILIES.

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.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
