Notes: Examples of non-profit organizations are charities, hospitals and schools. , is a child abuse treatment center providing therapy for 2,000 children and families who have been traumatized by sexual abuse and/or physical and emotional abuse as well as severe neglect. The money will be used to make up the difference between what the grant money covers and what the center needs to accommodate more children. ``This gives us a little bit extra money to do some extra things for the children,'' said Norris. ``The grant money covers the basics, but if you have more children that you want to put into the program, you can't until the next cycle comes around.'' The center was recently approved for a $1.5 million loan and officials hope to break ground on its new 15,000-square-foot building in April. The current facility is less than half that size.
