Overview

Mission

Provide counseling to low income individuals and families

What it reported doing in 2013

Serving our community with affordable, quality counseling; comprhensive clinical training; and community education: 31 low income clients received a total of 149 hours of counseling; 4 clinical interns received a total of 88 hours of clinical supervision (in preparation for licensing exams); outreach/education to 150 persons

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
