Overview

Mission

To promote and support nuturing relationships for all infants

What it reported doing in 2024

Contract revenues consist of various types of contracted services used by associations for infant mental health for their endorsement operations. Eccs includes day to day maintenance of the endorsement application system, support for endorsement applicants and endorsees, and technical assistance. The alliance sells a product called social emotional development wheels. These products are specific to infancy, early childhood, pregnancy, and fatherhood. They can be customized by the customer. The alliance offers training to individuals and organizations on workforce development topics such as reflective supervision/consultation and competency-based frameworks. The alliance generates endorsement revenue through the sale of endorsement exams, endorsing individual applicants, and courtesy exam reviews. Associations for infant mental health license the infant/early childhood mental health endorsement license from the alliance. Additionally, associations pay annual renewal fees for those licenses after they have held them for 3-years. The reflective supervision symposium is a biennial, national event, co- hosted by the alliance and a member infant mental health association. The event's focus is on building reflective supervision capacity across the nation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 79% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
