Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide culturally competent, high quality care to native american youth and their families with a greater sensitivity to their ethnic history.

What it reported doing in 2023

Eagledancer youth & family services contracts with the navajo nation, bureau of indian affairs, and other agencies and tribes to design and implement counseling, guidance, supervisory and rehabilitation programs for troubled youth, ages 0 - 21. The organization operates a community treatment program located in Arizona, consisting of foster care and independent living services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
