Mission
To increase awareness of the issues of child abuse and neglect and to raise
funding for the Children's Advocacy Center of Brevard, an organization serving
abused and neglected children of Brevard County, Florida.
Purpose
The Friends of the Children's Advocacy Center of Brevard is a volunteer
group of individuals, comprised from the community, who are organized exclusively
for charitable and educational purposes to:
- Secure and maintain a permanent facility from which the multi-agency professionals
on-site at the Children's Advocacy Center of Brevard may provide services to abused and
neglected children and their non-offending family members.
- Support and encourage the creation of new services and enhance current programs.
- Provide financial support for other operating expenses of the Advocacy Center.
- Stimulate public awareness of the work of the Children's Advocacy Center of Brevard.
The Friends are responsible
for attracting financial resources, and for setting policies and establishing
procedures to govern their actions, to ensure that the CACB has the required
funding resources to succeed in its mission.
The Friends will acquire
an understanding of the resources required to carry out the CACB's
mission, prepare plans for soliciting the private funds needed to carry
out that mission, and demonstrate good stewardship of the contributions
received by overseeing the disposition of those funds.
