For more than 25 years, the National Center for Victims of Crime has served as the nation's most comprehensive resource and advocacy organization dedicated to supporting crime victims and those who serve them. 0 0 1027487 0 291679 Training and Technical Assistance: National Center for Victims of Crime values education and training to improve the way crime victims are treated and understood. 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 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 exoneration, and how DNA can be used in missing persons cases. 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, we trained over 800 victim service professionals, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to sharing promising practices, current research, and effective programs and policies that are victim-centered, practice-based, and research-informed. At rural regional conferences, we trained hundreds of prosecutors, investigators, forensic interviewers, and allied criminal justice professionals, giving them the necessary foundation to competently handle cases of child abuse, neglect, and exploitation. 773271 0 37680 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. We 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. The problem of rape kit backlogs in forensic labs and untested rape kits in police and sheriffs' department across the country is a national disgrace and an affront to sexual assault victims. We undertook a project to ensure that the effort to reduce backlogs includes a victim-centered system response and service provision. We developed a series of recommendations regarding the coordination of the child welfare system and the nation's response to child victims of human trafficking. We began a public education campaign to raise awareness of the criminal and civil statute of limitations for adult victims of child sexual abuse. 560877 0 129895 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. 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. We held a conference for attorneys who represent crime victims in the civil justice system. Conference presentations included preparing child sexual abuse victims to testify, civil remedies for students who are victims of assaults, and the role of the civil justice system in addressing the growing problem of elder abuse. We held regional seminars for crime victim service professionals, informing them of the right of every crime victim to file a civil lawsuit seeking financial compensation from the perpetrator or from other parties whose unreasonable conduct gave rise to conditions that allowed the crime to occur. We provided a basic understanding of the civil justice system so that crime victims might consider this important option and know where to turn for help. 404115 0 0 Research and Evaluation: National Center for Victims of Crime undertook research projects that advanced the knowledge of victim issues. We began a project that will result in an improved multidisciplinary response to victims of child pornography and a reduction in the ongoing trauma associated with this crime. We analyzed the legal rights of child pornography victims, their service needs and barriers, evidence-supported interventions, and promising practices for responding to these victims. We began to establish an advisory committee of experts in order to ensure extensive stakeholder participation and widespread distribution of the project's final report. 313288 0 0 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. 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. We ensured that communities' efforts to reduce backlogs and untested sexual assault kits include a victim-centered system response and service provision. We organized a roundtable of child welfare, law enforcement, and child trafficking experts to develop recommendations on how the child welfare system can protect the safety and rights of child victims of human trafficking. 93761 0 25000 Victim Services: The National Compassion Fund was jointly developed by the National Center for Victims of Crime with victims and families of some of the worst mass-casualty crimes in United States history, including 9/11, Columbine, Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University, Aurora, Oak Creek Sikh Temple, and Sandy Hook. The National Compassion Fund distributes money donated to the victims so they can recover and rebuild their lives. The National Compassion Fund is overseen by the National Center for Victims of Crime, and advised by a panel of experts in crime victim compensation and recovery. The panel includes representatives of the victims of past mass casualty crimes. In addition, the National Center for Victims of Crime worked with the University of North Texas with DNA ProKids, an international project aimed at fighting against the trafficking of human beings by using genetic identification to reunite victims with their families. 811164 0 25000 3172799 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 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 26 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DC KS MO AK KY OK FL LA OR UT GA ME AR NH PA VA CA HI MD NJ WA MA NM WV IL MI NY SC WI CT IN MN MS X X X National Center for Victims of Crime 2024678700 2000 M Street NW Suite 480 Attn Finance and Administration Washington DC 200363398 Mark Mandell Chair, Jan-Sep 2013 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Philip Gerson Treasurer, Jan-Sep 2013; Chair, Sep-Dec 2013 1 0 X X 0 0 0 David T Austern Vice Chair, Jan-May 2013 1 0 X X 0 0 0 G Morris Gurley Secretary, Jan-Sep 2013; Vice Chair, Sep-Dec 2013 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Leonard Klevan Secretary, Sep-Dec 2013 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Rickman Treasurer, Sep-Dec 2013 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Alexander Auersperg Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Patricia Brown Board Member, Jan-Oct 2013 1 0 X 0 0 0 Denise Forte Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kim Goldman Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Haggard Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Melvin Hewitt Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ala Isham Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ralph H Isham Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Brian Martin Board Member, Jan-Oct 2013 1 0 X 0 0 0 Donald A Migliori Board Member, Jan-Oct 2013 1 0 X 0 0 0 Frank M Ochberg Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Erin Olson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Flynn Peterson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Charles J Sgro Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Eric Smith Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Francisco Acevedo Villarruel Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mai Fernandez Executive Director 40 0 X 184743 0 37030 Ian Rothman Director, Finance and Administration 40 0 X 99178 0 17133 Jeffrey R Dion Deputy Executive Director 40 0 X 114927 0 16897 398848 0 71060 2 0 1 0 Marketplace Communications LLC 1415 L Street Suite 1100 Sacramento CA 95814 public relations 190179 University of New Hampshire 51 College Road Durham NH 038243585 subcontract for project to improve services to victims of child pornopgraphy 122395 2 452 0 0 0 1470651 1402373 1000 2873476 Training of victim service providers 541900 337192 333992 0 3200 Membership dues 541900 146649 146649 0 0 Publications for victim service providers 541900 236 236 0 0 0 0 0 0 484077 2069 2069 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 0 0 22739 0 0 22739 0 22739 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3382361 482946 0 25939 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 499724 406673 0 93051 0 0 0 0 957820 898207 33404 26209 16675 21134 -5786 1327 138979 131216 3629 4134 91049 82618 1951 6480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 29515 26423 926 2166 190179 190179 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 511193 500697 1356 9140 0 0 0 0 101015 89541 742 10732 86773 80972 256 5545 0 0 0 0 314969 282121 9836 23012 183677 178668 198 4811 0 0 0 0 244526 243982 30 514 6138 5495 193 450 0 0 0 0 19501 17458 612 1431 6831 6116 214 501 Taxes 11299 11299 0 0 0 0 0 0 3409863 3172799 47561 189503 392059 437081 0 0 88170 98621 12527 8025 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25804 22441 157999 114792 60614 43207 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 100000 100000 679174 710375 260880 238455 0 0 119767 210165 0 0 0 0 0 0 115188 98220 0 0 71415 79113 567250 625953 X 72303 -378 39621 84800 0 0 111924 84422 679174 710375 -27502 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2692246 3215295 1228021 2840305 2904039 12879906 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2692246 3215295 1228021 2840305 2904039 12879906 198285 12681621 4517 1766 359 1194 2069 9905 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12889811 2748950 0.98385 0.97943 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 100270 274346 374616 3213776 3588392 329420 82355 17915 45196 1 326048 222958 289606 329420 1168032 1752048 962 625 161100 374616 537303 81512 55740 72402 82355 292009 438014 146 0 0 100270 100416 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30037 17493 12544 0 127962 97299 30663 0 0 0 0 43207 Deposit 100000 100000 0 Deferred rent 79113 79113 3551348 0 168987 0 0 168987 3382361 0 0 0 3382361 3578850 168987 0 0 0 168987 3409863 0 0 0 3409863 Service Awards 22739 0 22739 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22739 0 22739 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22739 Schedule G, Part II, Line 1 One way the National Center for Victims of Crime advances its mission is by presenting its annual Service Award to individuals who have shown outstanding leadership and service in helping crime victims. The 2013 Service Award recipients were Senator Ronald Latz and Representative Steve Simon. Senator Latz was a primary author of the Minnesota Child Victims Act, which offers greater access to justice for victims of childhood sexual abuse. The groundbreaking new law will eliminate the civil statute of limitations for current claims of child sex abuse and create a three-year window during which old claims can be filed no matter how long ago the abuse occurred. Senator Latz's steadfast stewardship of this historic legislation demonstrated his commitment to the protection of children and justice for victims of crime. As another primary author of the Minnesota Child Victims Act, Representative Simon's deft advocacy for this bill was evidenced by his tireless efforts to thoughtfully and methodically consider, address, and overcome the policy concerns raised about the legislation. The work of Senator Latz and Representative Simon will provide greater access to justice for victims of childhood sexual abuse.
