Overview
Mission Statement
Italian Home for Children exists to help children and their families thrive through progressive programs.
Background Statement
The devastating influenza epidemic of 1918 orphaned many Italian children of Boston's North End, and the community and clergy responded by establishing the Italian Home for Children to care for these orphans. During the first fifty years, Franciscan sisters devoted their lives to raising and teaching thousands of children at the Home.
As decades passed, the needs of the children arriving at the Home began to reflect more complex crises. Today, the Home's focus is providing residential and day treatment services for emotionally disturbed children of all nationalities.
Licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Italian Home for Children serve children with significant emotional and behavioral disorders between the ages of 4 to 13 years old in our campus-based programs. Outreach programs serve children up to 18 years old.
Impact Statement
Core Values:
Protect the rights of children;
Promote the highest standards of education, care and treatment for children;
Support and preserve the relationship between a child and his/her family and community;
Accept the family system as the one in which the child is most likely to succeed;
Assist children and families in all efforts that promote a healthy reintegration at the earliest possible time;
Exist as a resource for children and families irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion or national origin.
Needs Statement
As is the case with most non-profits, financial independence combined with financial support are critical to our existence and the programs and services the Italian Home for Children provides to at-risk youth in and around Boston, MA.
CEO Statement
As we expected the past year has seen a steady expansion of our non-residential services. The trend away from reliance on residential services is one we recognized and planned for in the future. Our dedicated staff deserve a lot of credit for their patience, understanding and flexibility in a year when schedules, responsibilities and programs were subject to what seemed like constant adjustment. Their commitment and loyalty allowed us to achieve a measure of stability in an era of uncertainty for agencies like ours. Revenue from program services was somewhat less than we budgeted but expenses were also below budget. Once again our fundraising success was the difference maker.
After implementing our Therapeutic Mentoring and In-Home Therapy services the past couple years, it appears the services have been successful. First and foremost we succeeded with the children and families we worked with by building skills in youngsters and improving relationships in families who were at-risk for disruption. We also succeeded in strengthening our relationships with both public agency and private agency partners.
Italian Home remains committed to our staple services of residential treatment and special education although we recognize that demand for these services may continue to decline. In the future, we will continue to grow newer community-based services while at the same time preparing for yet another re-procurement process undertaken by the state agencies that contract for services to vulnerable populations.
Although there are many changes occurring now in child welfare, the strength of our talented staff and committed volunteers combined with the indefatigable support of our donors will help us survive and thrive. We really have to. There are kids depending on us.
Sincerely,
Christopher F. Small
Executive Director

Impact
The Impact tab is a section on the Giving Common added in October 2013; as such the majority of nonprofits have not yet had the chance to complete this voluntary section. The purpose of the Impact section is to ask five deceptively simple questions that require reflection and promote communication about what really matters – results. The goal is to encourage strategic thinking about how a nonprofit will achieve its goals. The following Impact questions are being completed by nonprofits slowly, thoughtfully and at the right time for their respective organizations to ensure the most accurate information possible.
1. What is your organization aiming to accomplish?
--
2. What are your strategies for making this happen?
--
3. What are your organization’s capabilities for doing this?
--
4. How will your organization know if you are making progress?
--
5. What have and haven’t you accomplished so far?
--
