Overview

Mission

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those affected by brain injury.

What it reported doing in 2025

Maintained and expanded the Sunshine NeuroResource Facilitation Network (ACL grant subaward through University of Florida) through which specialty trained contractors have responded to over 900 inquiries from Florida residents for information, services, or resources dealing with the challenges of living with a brain injury.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 88% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Assets have declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
