Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Stop It Now! seeks to have the sexual abuse of children recognized as a preventable public health problem, to make helping adults take responsibility to prevent and stop sexual abuse of children a main focus of prevention, and to create effective programs based on these principles.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Stop It Now! relies on the public health model to create programming. Using a combination of research-based public education materials, media messages, and training tools, we seek to change the social climate and foster the prevention of child sexual abuse.
In past public health campaigns, advocates have successfully demanded change in our communities by challenging societal attitudes ("friends don't let friends drive drunk"). Communities have demanded effective public policies which will promote the public health (regulations which prevent smoking in public places). Individuals and communities also have a role to play in preventing the sexual abuse of children.
We believe that sexual abuse of children is preventable. We believe that the best hope for preventing child abuse is by enacting the following policies in our communities:
-Promoting accurate information
-Enhancing services to children who are victims of sex abuse
-Providing specialized treatment programs for sex offenders
-Offering timely sexuality education
-Improving our understanding of behaviors that make children vulnerable
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Stop It Now! provides a place for adults to voice questions and concerns about child sexual abuse and gives them and their communities the resources to take action. This includes sharing information about creating healthy, respectful boundaries in our families, recognizing and responding to boundary violations before a child is harmed, and promoting healthy behaviors that protect children.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Stop It Now! has created a website with information and resources for anyone seeking advice on how to keep a child safe from sexual harm and receives over 1 million new visitors each year. The confidential helpline has served over 20,000 individuals with questions about personal situations involving child sex abuse. Stop It Now! seeks to expand the availability of the Helpline and increase its training program to create safer environments for children to prevent child sexual abuse before any harm is done.

Financial data
Stop It Now, Inc.
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
