1984 - 2010 Our Twenty-sixth Year of Service Financial Information | Financial Information Summary | Historical Highlights This Annual Report is our opportunity to provide the public and our contributors with an accounting of the program activities and financial condition of the National Council on Child Abuse and Family Violence and the American Campaign for Prevention of Child Abuse and Family Violence that it leads each year. In the past ten years, child abuse reports increased by 250%. Five hundred children die each year from abuse and at least half of all child abuse fatalities are children under one year of age. Domestic violence will occur at least once in two-thirds of all marriages. One out of every twenty older Americans are victims of elder abuse but only one out of ten cases of elder abuse get reported. The American Campaign for Prevention of Child Abuse and Family Violence continues to experience a significant expansion in its outreach through the media and through the Internet in response to victims, families, students, churches, libraries, schools, and civic groups. NCCAFV also continues to provide training and technical assistance to agencies each year in the United States and internationally in preventing child abuse, spouse/partner abuse and elder abuse.
