Overview

Mission

Founded by a group of passionate parents whose adult children shared a similar experience with arizonas behavioral health system. You see, while our behavioral health system adequately serves tens of thousands of adults with a serious mental illness (smi) every year, there is a percentage of our smi population for whom our behavioral health system is seriously and materially inadequate.

What it reported doing in 2024

Support of educational programs

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
