Overview

Mission

Through the power of human connection, compeer serves as a bridge to better mental health and community integration for all.

What it reported doing in 2025

Compeer provides screened, trained community volunteers to help youth with mental health challenges due to trauma, neglect, and poverty. The volunteers provide experiences to strengthen school performance, get along better at school, and develop interests in their community. We served 51 youth in one-to-one mentoring services in 2025.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
