Overview

Mission

Elkhart county clubhouse is an organization where people with persistent mental illness can come to rebuild their lives. The organization offers support for education, or for returning to the workforce through a variety of entry-level positions.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization's programming is centered on the provision of meaningful work within a safe environment for its members to connect with each other. Within this environment, opportunities exist for members to re-enter the work force within the community and/or to volunteer their time assisting with the day-to-day functions within the clubhouse. At daily meetings, the lunch program menus are decided, weekend recreational activities are scheduled, and community-based work schedules are determined. Clubhouse members are encouraged to lead and make decisions, they work along-side staff and are empowered to make an impact in their communities. The organization served 161 members during the year ending june 30, 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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.
  • 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
