What Safe Spot Child Advocacy Center of Wilkes does
Mission
To help bring hope, healing, and justice to children in our community affected by sexual abuse or severe physical abuse. Safe Spot provides direct services to help child victims & nonoffending caregivers at no cost and to facilitate a multidisciplinary team structured to coordinate investigations and victim care
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Offers hope and support for children and families grappling with the harrowing effects of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, drug endangerment, trafficking, neglect, and exposure to violence. Our core mission is collaboration with investigative partners to heal, and aid in the well-being of every child in our community. After possible abuse is reported, the child is interviewed one-on-one without leading or upsetting the child. The interview is recorded, and used to answer questions, provide support and connect children and families to needed services. Our advocate is the family s point of first contact and will serve as their guide throughout the process. If the case goes to court, our advocate helps prepare the child and family. We provide trauma assessment to find out how abuse may have affected the child, then use an evidence-based treatment to help the child recover.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $140k to $182k (+30%).
