Liberty House

What Liberty House does

Liberty House Children's Advocacy Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1999 that operates as the designated Children's Advocacy Center for Marion and Polk Counties in Oregon. The organization provides a coordinated, multidisciplinary response to child abuse, neglect, trauma, and grief, delivering four integrated service lines: (1) Assessment, which includes forensic interviews, medical exams, and family support for children referred by law enforcement, ODHS, or community reporters; (2) Hope & Wellness Services, a trauma-focused therapy program using TF-CBT, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR modalities delivered by licensed therapists; (3) Abuse Prevention Education, including in-person and virtual trainings in English and Spanish on child safety and digital safety; and (4) Community Engagement, encompassing fundraising events, facility tours, and volunteer programs. The organization also operates iRespect&Protect, a digital safety sub-brand with its own microsite that provides curricula, digital media contracts, and interactive resources for parents, youth, and community members.

Liberty House is nationally accredited by the National Children's Alliance (earned February 2025) and operates from a main campus at 2685 4th Street NE, Salem, with additional administrative and Hope & Wellness space at 385 Taylor St NE, Salem, and a satellite clinic in Woodburn. The organization's 11-50 employees support an annual service volume of roughly 1,000 children, with 2024-specific reporting of 969 children served, 112+ receiving trauma-focused therapy, and 1,001 adults trained in prevention. The service-area context is one of substantial unmet need: Marion and Polk Counties recorded 10,898 child abuse reports in a recent year, against which Liberty House serves approximately 9% of reported cases.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded, not fee-for-service. All services are delivered free to children and families. Funding sources include individual donations (Patron/Champion/Hero tiers with monthly sustaining gifts from $10 upward), a Business and Corporate Sustainer Group with Platinum/Gold/Silver/Bronze tiers, event sponsorships ($500-$10,000), foundation grants, government contracts, and a growing endowment and legacy giving program. The organization states that approximately one-third of annual funding comes from charitable contributions. GTM is community-led: events such as the Champions for Children Luncheon and Holiday Hope Gala, the Invest in HOPE campaign with community meetings throughout the region, email newsletters, social media, and partnerships with local law enforcement, schools, healthcare, and corporate sponsors drive both awareness and fundraising.
