In the past year, BCAC has expanded its reach to include children entering the foster system, who are required to have a medical evaluation within five days of entering the system. BCAC has become the exclusive provider of medical examinations for these children. Also, with the passage of Maryland House Bill 306, BCAC now extends its services to help children who have witnessed domestic violence in the home. The BCAC philosophy is that if a child can benefit from our expertise, then our services shouldn't be limited to just a few crimes. The impact on children is not crime-specific and our services must be child-focused and trauma-informed. 22 22 27 84 0 0 1465995 2012672 235919 164111 0 0 322826 191849 2024740 2368632 0 0 0 0 1491066 1675345 0 0 174225 588551 622639 2079617 2297984 -54877 70648 1982093 2102248 817174 866681 1164919 1235567 X The mission of Baltimore Child Abuse Center is to provide child victims of sexual abuse in Baltimore and their non-offending caretakers with comprehensive forensic interviews, medical treatment, and mental health treatment with a goal of preventing future abuse. 0 0 1903392 164111 BCAC ensures that allegations of child sexual abuse, trauma, and other response conducted 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 BCAC'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 BCAC's operations for 30 years. BCAC 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 2017 (July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017), forensic interviews and risk assessments were provided for 689 children. Approximately 33% of these interviews were conducted afterhours and 29% were conducted through the walk-in program.Medical ExaminationsBCAC's medical facility is located in the same building as BCAC'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. BCAC 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 795 Children's Advocacy Centers.In Fiscal Year 2017, BCAC provided 687 children with forensic medical examinations at BCAC's on-site medical facility and also including initial medical screenings for children entering state-sponsored foster care in conjunction with the MATCH (Making All The Children Healthy) program. Providing medical care on-site furthers BCAC'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.Without intervention and treatment, child victims of sexual abuse face tremendous odds for overcoming their trauma. BCAC's team works with the family to recommend follow-up treatment and services. Most families are referred to counseling with one of BCAC's treatment partners. BCAC also offers some counseling and therapeutic programs on-site and through afterschool groups.In Fiscal Year 2017, BCAC's Family Advocacy Team provided 273 children and families with referrals for ongoing mental health services, including home, school, and community visits, court support, and assistance in accessing food, housing, educational, and legal assistance programs. 24% followed through with the referral and made a connection with a mental health treatment provider.BCAC's Family Advocacy Team provided 28 children and families with crisis counseling and 59 parents and caregivers returned to BCAC to participate in a support group. An additional 28 teenage girls participated in DIVAS (Developing Inner Values to Acquire Success) - a psycho-educational group program for teenage girls who have been exposed to child sexual abuse or other traumas. The program addresses at-risk teens' emotional and psychological needs in order to reduce the potential long-term effects faced by so many trauma victims.Prevention and Community OutreachThe goal of BCAC's professional development and prevention training efforts is to create long-term impact, preparing adults to address and prevent sexual abuse in their communities. In Fiscal Year 2017, BCAC educated 9,000 adults through its training institute. The reach of these trainings extended across ten states and benefited an estimated 40,000 children. An additional 1,719 people completed the online mandated reporter course hosted on the Maryland Mandated Reporter Website: ReportAbuseMD.com, a one-stop resource for information and training on how to recognize, respond and report abuse in Maryland.The community outreach program is BCAC's way of raising awareness of and providing opportunities for adult community members to support BCAC's mission. BCAC hosted its signature Be A Hero gala event and reached 513 viewers on Facebook and Twitter. BCAC's website, BaltimoreChildAbuseCenter.org, attracted 2,346 visitors. 1903392 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 27 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MD X The Organization 4103966147 2300 North Charles Street Baltimore MD 21218 Jennifer Sachs President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Rev Brian Murray Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Meggan Saulo Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Carrie Freshour Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Hirsh Ament Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Lowe Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew M Dansicker Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stuart Blumenthal Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Camille Mihalic Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher S Carroll Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Murkey Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Neuman Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine O'Dohrety Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stacey Flood Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Pattison Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jackie Gifford Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Ritter Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ida Samet Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Sherman Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Colby Simon Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie Smith Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jason White Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Rosenberg Executive Director 40.00 X 153963 0 12207 LaDonna Morgan Finance Director 40.00 X 93005 0 7427 246968 0 19634 1 0 1 0 0 230698 1593121 188853 7470 2012672 Fees for services 900099 164111 164111 164111 198911 0 198911 198911 198911 65805 230698 101988 -36183 -36183 Miscellaneous 900099 29121 29121 29121 2368632 164111 0 191849 266602 223946 15996 26660 1205625 1012725 72338 120562 94289 79203 5657 9429 108829 91416 6530 10883 11000 11000 95289 40418 48180 6691 275653 223544 52109 41333 41333 55878 53385 2493 22226 22226 25857 24564 1293 71347 67779 3568 24056 22853 1203 2297984 1903392 220367 174225 53080 45974 7726 153178 220070 81711 7434 12574 2658769 916850 1759077 1741919 1598 1982093 2102248 141655 237802 476820 488331 189046 136818 9653 3730 817174 866681 X 1103560 1156921 61359 78646 1164919 1235567 1982093 2102248 70648 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1460204 1323700 1187740 1465995 2012672 7450311 1460204 1323700 1187740 1465995 2012672 7450311 3801 7446510 146490 159571 190979 155369 198911 851320 15844 113221 116886 167457 94926 508334 8809965 1227784 0.84520 0.81170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 213900 213900 2179963 706899 1473064 264906 209951 54955 1741919 Security Deposit Liability 3730 3730 X 2658582 289950 289950 2368632 0 2368632 2587934 289950 289950 2297984 0 2297984 Part X, Line 2: BCAC is a nonprofit organization exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. BCAC performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2017, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of June 30, 2017, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2014 through 2017 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which BCAC files tax returns. It is the BCAC's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.
