Loss Prevention Charities

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

Mission is to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation; help find missing children; and assist victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals that love them.

Since their founding in 1984, NCMEC has assisted in the recovery of more than 126,000 children and played a key role in raising our nation's recovery rate of missing children from 62% in 1990, to more than 96% today. Also 94% of the revenue goes to support programs services.

2008 NRF & RILA Loss Prevention Conferences raised over $170,000.00.
