1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES CFH ENSURES THAT ALLEGATIONS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, TRAUMA, AND SIMILAR OFFENSES AGAINST CHILDREN ARE INVESTIGATED AND RESPONDED TO WITHOUT FORCING CHILDREN TO BE RE-VICTIMIZED OR RELIVE THEIR EXPERIENCES FOR EACH INVESTIGATOR WHO NEEDS INFORMATION. EACH CHILD TALKS ONE-ON-ONE WITH ONE OF CFH'S FORENSIC INTERVIEWERS, SOCIAL WORKERS TRAINED IN NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR FORENSIC ASSESSMENT. THIS GIVES CHILDREN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED IN THEIR OWN WORDS. THIS CRISIS RESPONSE HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION OF CFH'S OPERATIONS FOR 30 YEARS. CFH IS AVAILABLE WITHIN TWO HOURS OF AN ALLEGATION AND INCLUDES A 24/7/365 ON-CALL SERVICE AND WALK-IN PROGRAM, SERVING FAMILIES AROUND THE CLOCK WITHOUT WAITING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THIS 24-HOUR PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY AND THE ONLY ONE IN MARYLAND. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2025 (JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025), FORENSIC INTERVIEWS AND RISK ASSESSMENTS WERE PROVIDED FOR 519 CHILDREN. MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS CFH'S MEDICAL FACILITY IS LOCATED IN THE SAME BUILDING AS CFH'S INTERVIEW FACILITIES; THEREFORE, CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE AN EXAMINATION ON-SITE THE SAME DAY AS THEIR INTERVIEW TO DETERMINE IF ANY PHYSICAL SIGNS OF TRAUMA ARE PRESENT. CFH PROVIDES THIS SERVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY MARYLAND CHILD ABUSE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, AS WELL AS THE ACCREDITATION STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE, A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION THAT CREATES BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS AND PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES TO THE NATION'S MORE THAN 900 CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTERS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, CFH'S MEDICAL TEAM CONDUCTED 598 MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS FOR CHILDREN AT CFH'S ON-SITE MEDICAL CLINIC. IN ADDITION TO CONDUCTING 182 FORENSIC MEDICAL EXAMS IN CASES OF SUSPECTED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, CFH ALSO PROVIDED 416 INITIAL MEDICAL SCREENINGS FOR CHILDREN ENTERING STATE SPONSORED FOSTER CARE. PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE ON-SITE FURTHERS CFH'S GOAL OF CREATING A CHILD-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT AND STREAMLINED CARE BY ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR CLIENTS TO MAKE A SEPARATE APPOINTMENT AT A HOSPITAL OR PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE. VICTIM SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY SERVICES CFH'S FAMILY ADVOCACY TEAM PROVIDES ONGOING FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT SERVICES FOR FAMILIES, INCLUDING HOME, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY VISITS, COURT SUPPORT, AND ASSISTANCE IN ACCESSING FOOD, HOUSING, EDUCATIONAL, LEGAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, AND REFERRALS FOR ONGOING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

OVER 100 TRAININGS WERE HELD WITH OVER 10,000 PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING TRAINING ON OUR ONLINE TRAINING PLATFORM OR IN FACILITATOR LED TRAININGS (IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL). THE TEAM CONTRACTED WITH 3 AGENCIES TO DEVELOP CHILD PROTECTION POLICIES.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.
