Overview

Mission

Brain injury prevention, research, education

What it reported doing in 2024

Help line services: free resource offers personalized support, navigation and referrals for individuals with brain injuries and their families. Helpline responds to calls, emails and online inquries from individuals statewide, helping them to connect to resournces in the healthcare, employment, housing and other vital areas. Last year the helpline served over 500 individuals, with approx. $22,500 allocated to staffing, training and technology costs to ensure responsive and informed assistance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
