The association for mentally ill children of westchester, inc. (the clear view school) and amic holding company, inc. (the agency) is a non-profit organization formed under the not for profit law of the state of New York. The agency operates a school for emotionally disturbed children funded by New York state education department (nysed), the New York state office of mental health (omh) and westchester county department of mental health. The agency also operates ira residential habilitation, individual and group day habilitation and medicaid service coordination programs funded by New York state office of persons with developmental disabilities (opwdd). The agency operates and maintains its administrative offices in westchester county, New York.

What it reported doing in 2025

Approximately 94% of the revenues are from educational programs funded by nys sed. The remaining revenue is generated by ira residential, community habilitation, and the office of mental health programs. The expenses noted are the total salary and benefits of all educators and direct care providers of various programs provided by clearview.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
