Our training activities and programs served as a resource for those who work with victims, represent victims' perspectives, raise awareness, develop services, and foster systemic change. Our general and topic-specific conferences emphasized a multidisciplinary approach to sharing promising practices, current research, and effective programs and policies that are victim-centered, evidence-based, and research-informed. Our DNA Resource Center helped victim service and criminal justice professionals to understand forensic DNA and DNA databases, the roles of sexual assault nurse examiners helping survivors of DNA exonerations, and how DNA can be used in missing persons cases. We increased the capacity of those who work with victims to provide victims with informed and sensitive guidance related to matters involving forensic DNA. Our Stalking Resource Center enhanced the ability of professionals, organizations, and systems to respond effectively to stalking. Our Youth Initiative built the nation's capacity to support youth victims while working to advance their rights and to ensure youth leadership on issues that affect youth. At our National Conference, victim service providers across the country discussed the current climate of victim assistance, emerging research, and innovative practices. 433435 0 52281 Public Education: National Center for Victims of Crime created and distributed, online and in print, unique informational products including fact books, directories, training manuals, research reports, policy briefs, and victim service materials to the public (see www.ncvc.org). National Center for Victims of Crime developed an extensive resource guide of public awareness materials for annual observances of National Crime Victims' Rights Week. The resource guide was used by victim service providers and allied professionals across the country to heighten public awareness of crime victim issues. In order to improve the collection and payment of victim restitution nationwide, we conducted a peer education project that will allow states with innovative and promising restitution collection and payment programs to share their successes, challenges, and new ideas with their peers in other states whose efforts have not yet matured. 221504 0 0 Evaluation and Research: National Center for Victims of Crime undertook research projects that advanced the knowledge of victim issues. We facilitated and documented a deep and broad examination of the capacity of the victim services field to meet victims' needs in the coming decades, with a focus on the current and desired levels of services, funding, flexibility, collaboration, and diversity among those working to serve crime victims. We examined issues surrounding the capacity of victim service providers and developed recommendations for the victim service field. The final report offered fifty recommendations, concrete steps that can be taken by national programs, federal agencies, states, individual organization, and agencies, and Congress to improve the nation's capacity to reach and serve victims of crime. 106035 0 0 Victim Services: National Center for Victims of Crime operated its National Crime Victim Helpline, a nationwide, toll-free information and referral service for crime victims and others seeking assistance or information on how to help victims of crime. The Helpline provided advice on crime victimization and referrals to local agencies throughout the country. In December 2010, National Center for Victims of Crime closed the Helpline due to the loss of the funding that had supported the service. National Center for Victims of Crime is preparing to make available on its Web site the extensive victim services referral database, with more than 14,000 agencies, that was used by the Helpline staff. 214371 0 450 Public Policy: National Center for Victims of Crime advocated for passage of laws and public policies that create resources and secure rights and protections for crime victims. Our VictimLaw database, www.victimlaw.info, is a free, comprehensive, user-friendly, online database of victims' rights statutes, tribal laws, constitutional amendments, court rules, administrative code provisions, and case summaries of related court decisions that meets the needs of a wide variety of users with different levels of substantive and technological expertise. We developed policy-related resources and tools to help victim-serving professionals. Victim service professionals received thoughtful policy analysis, reports on best practices, late-breaking news alerts, and tools to educate their communities on victims' issues. 140664 0 107097 Civil Justice: National Center for Victims of Crime's National Crime Victim Bar Association provided technical support to attorneys representing crime victims in civil actions, referred crime victims to attorneys in their local areas, and worked to increase general awareness about the availability of civil remedies for victims of crime. At the Civil Actions for Criminal Acts conference, some of the country's leading civil attorneys and expert consultants analyzed approaches and enhanced participants' skills in representing victims of crime and holding offenders and third parties accountable through the civil justice system. We provided access to a civil justice database, containing more than 11,000 annotated summaries of civil cases brought by crime victims. We hosted an attorney referral phone line to refer victims to attorneys who may be able to represent them in appropriate cases. 461070 0 107547 2707966 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 36 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MS NC NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X National Center for Victims of Crime 2024678700 2000 M Street NW Suite 480 Attn Director Finance and Admin Washington DC 200363398 Mark Mandell 1 X X 0 0 0 David T Austern 1 X X 0 0 0 Philip Gerson 1 X X 0 0 0 G Morris Gurley 1 X X 0 0 0 Alexander Auersperg 1 X 0 0 0 Patricia Brown 1 X 0 0 0 Denise Forte 1 X 0 0 0 Melvin Hewitt 1 X 0 0 0 Ala Isham 1 X 0 0 0 Ralph H Isham 1 X 0 0 0 Donald A Migliori 1 X 0 0 0 Frank M Ochberg 1 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Flynn Peterson 1 X 0 0 0 Stephen Rickman 1 X 0 0 0 Charles J Sgro 1 X 0 0 0 Eric Smith 1 X 0 0 0 Francisco Acevedo Villarruel 1 X 0 0 0 David M Zlotnick 1 X 0 0 0 Mai Fernandez 40 X 96795 0 15838 Ian Rothman 40 X 2094 0 0 Mark D Butler 40 X 89646 0 21914 188535 0 37752 4 0 0 0 0 8714 0 97800 0 2472387 618994 222652 3197895 Training of victim service providers 541900 229225 229225 0 0 Membership for victim service providers 541900 148653 148653 0 0 Publications for victim service providers 541900 7810 7810 0 0 Education about forensic DNA 541900 127496 127496 0 0 0 0 0 0 513184 1766 0 0 1766 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17400 97800 17692 -292 0 -292 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3712553 513184 0 1474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 344104 11561 330348 2195 0 0 0 0 1313504 1140540 109889 63075 79169 67556 8284 3329 208815 199585 -288 9518 106940 82925 19217 4798 0 0 0 0 8593 0 8593 0 56724 0 56724 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 294929 229049 58536 7344 0 0 0 0 200353 146066 45977 8310 56613 26755 25688 4170 0 0 0 0 433762 312620 103639 17503 203134 196611 4597 1926 0 0 0 0 184370 157370 0 27000 2256 0 2256 0 0 0 0 0 2706 1950 647 109 18699 0 18699 0 Allocation of indirect expenses 0 135378 -142958 7580 3514671 2707966 649848 156857 115810 104298 0 0 261700 146242 306333 48251 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41876 45865 120853 120594 2965 259 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 54309 100000 782993 444915 614790 229475 0 0 186408 19556 0 0 0 0 0 0 173274 172946 0 0 34726 51261 1009198 473238 X -236205 -38323 10000 10000 0 0 -226205 -28323 782993 444915 197882 0 X X 0 0 1 0 X 2760307 2789074 3056793 2692246 3215295 14513715 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2760307 2789074 3056793 2692246 3215295 14513715 425000 14088715 3373 3115 1269 4517 1766 14040 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14527755 513184 0.96978 0.992 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 146 816 962 3519988 3520950 326048 81512 0 0 324422 326241 328310 326048 1305021 1957532 65865 19544 1110 962 87481 79807 81560 82078 81512 324957 487436 0 0 0 146 146 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11992 11963 29 0 108861 108631 230 0 0 0 0 259 Security deposit 100000 100000 0 Deferred rent 51261 51261 Leadership Awards 115200 97800 17400 0 0 0 8392 0 9300 0 0 115200 97800 17400 0 0 0 8392 0 9300 17692 -292 SchG_P02_S00_L01 Schedule G, Part II, Line 1 One way the National Center for Victims of Crime advances its mission is by presenting its annual Leadership Awards to individuals who have shown outstanding leadership in helping crime victims. The 2011 Leadership Awards recipients were U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT); U.S. Representative Ted Poe (R-TX); and David Austern, the current vice chair of the National Center Board of Directors; and former NFL linebacker Al Chesley. Senator Leahy, who witnessed crime's impact on victims when he served as State's Attorney in Vermont more than three decades ago, has become a forceful advocate for major victim-related legislation including the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 and the 2004 Justice for All Act. Senator Leahy is a fierce defender of the Crime Victims Fund, which supports victim compensation and services needed to help victims rebuild their lives. U.S. Representative Ted Poe was the first chief felony prosecutor for the Harris County, Texas, District Attorney's Office and elected to six terms as a judge. In Congress, he co-founded the bipartisan Victims' Rights Caucus and has been a passionate leader in the victims' rights field. David Austern, formerly an assistant district attorney in New York City and Assistant United States Attorney in Washington, DC, has served the National Center for Victims of Crime with distinction for more than two decades, as president, vice chair, and treasurer. Al Chesley, a former NFL linebacker with the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles, was a young teenager when he was sexually abused by a police officer. Mr. Chesley has transformed this traumatic experience into a crusade to reach and protect other child sexual abuse victims and to advocate for greater rights at the state level.

This Helpline, which we had operated since 1993, provided advice on crime victimization and referrals to local agencies throughout the country. The closure resulted from the loss of the funding that had supported the service. F990_P04_S00_L28c Form 990, Part IV, Line 28c National Center for Victims of Crime and Life Technologies Inc have partnered for six years to raise awareness about the importance of forensic DNA as a tool to help solve and prevent crime and bring justice to victims. National Center for Victims of Crime's DNA Resource Center, partly funded by Life Technologies Inc, is a source for training, technical assistance, and information for victim service providers, law enforcement, allied professionals, and the general public about the use of DNA in the criminal justice system. Leonard Klevan is president of human identification business at Life Technologies Inc. On February 17, 2012, Mr. Klevan was elected to the board of directors of National Center for Victims of Crime.

F990_P12_S00_L03b Form 990, Part XII, Line 3b National Center for Victims of Crime has identified and engaged with an independent audit firm. The audit had not completed prior to filing of the Form 990. National Center for Victims of Crime fully expects this year's audit to be completed prior to the statutory deadline, as it was in the prior year. In accordance with Internal Revenue Service Notice 2012-4, Internal Revenue Service's Modernized eFile system was not available from January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012, for electronic filing of Form 990. Because National Center for Victims of Crime's filing due date for Form 990 coincided with the suspension period, National Center for Victims of Crime is an affected organization for purposes of the notice. National Center for Victims of Crime's Form 990 has been filed electronically by March 30, 2012. In accordance with the notice, National Center for Victims of Crime's Form 990 is considered to have been filed timely.
