Overview

Mission

Creatives care is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the future of the arts by helping artists access affordable mental healthcare. Creatives care offers free care navigation services, engages in outreach and community building activities.

What it reported doing in 2025

Outreach: we run an artist ambassador program to raise awareness and destigmatize the need for mental healthcare. We build community through house concerts and events. We connect with arts organizations and institutions to offer educational resources about mental healthcare. We recognize that not all communities have equal access to care, and we are committed to an inclusive future of the arts that engages historically underserved groups.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
