Overview

Mission

Strengthening mental health and families to build a resilient and connected community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Healthy families - the healthy families program is a free, voluntary home visitation program designed to promote supportive environments that optimize child growth and development and encourage resilient, healthy families and healthy children. Family support specialists build relationships with families and help them navigate whatever life throws at them for the first three years of a child's life. This is accomplished through a variety of services including child development evaluations, access to health care, and parent education. Partipants are identified by baby talk. Willowstone staff members visit families after they give birth at one of two hospitals. Visitors listen to any parent concerns and share information about attachment and all local resources at each visit. In 2025, healthy families served 176 families with 2,407 home visits and 95% goal achievement. Health families performed 1,751 baby talk visits.

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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
