Mission

Programs

  1. Fingerprinting/child id events and safety towns: we provide a take home id kit that includes a place for all pertinent child's information, a place for a photo, a place for printing fingerprints, a place for dental records, a place to mark down any birth marks, scars, etc. And a dna kit. These are distributed at all community events and are available upon request. We attended 63 community events and distributed 1872 bags and take home id kits. At our 17 safety towns we use a computer. All of the childs pertinent information is recorded, along with photos, digital fingerprints, and a short video. All this information is put on a flash drive and sent home to the parents. We produced 1157 flash drives we continue to work very closely with the summit county sheriff's off, the summit county prosecutor's office and local fire and police departments

  2. National missing children's day: a multi-agency event educating the public on abduction preventions and general child safety issues. It is important for gasp to inform our community that abductions happen and we can help by educating and providing material and agencies to help our families so this dos not happen here we partner with the national center of missing and exploited children, summit county sheriff's office, the summit county prosecutor's office, summit county children services, and other local agencies that focus on children and family wellness. We held our annual event at summit mall with 10 other local agencies.

  3. Education and outreach programs we provide education programs to schools, local chambers, church groups,, and community agencies upon request. We provide information on anti-bullying, cyberbullying, gun safety, uncomfortable touching internet safety, phone safety and other safety related information (age related). We attended classes at jennings middle school for grades 6 and 7 and spoke on internet safety and bullying.

In the past we have helped out on searches, but we did not assist in any searches in 2024.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $47k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
