Overview

Mission

We partner with youth, adults, and the families who support them to inspire hope, build skills, and create lasting stability.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education - provided 19,378 education days to 1,007 emotionally disturbed and/or physchiatrically-diagnosed children. Educational services include all regular and special classroom courses as well as counseling and psychiatric support services as necessary. Services are provided to children living in out-of-home residential units as well as to children still living at home who have been referred by their school district's committee on special education.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
