Overview
Mission
Provide mental health services to children and teenagers with limited or no access to help. The organization works with children and teenagers to develop self-awareness and self-management skills by integrating art with therapy to achieve social, emotional and academic success.
What it reported doing in 2017
Provided mental health services through our school-based art psychotherapy program for approximately 80 grade and middle school students at one k-8 chicago public school (national teachers academy) and one after-school youth organization (chicago youth programs) during the 2017-2018 school year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
