Overview

Mission

Gap relief is a diverse team of professionals supporting and empowering persons in high stress arenas such as first responders, health care workers and others, providing mental health services and training to alleviate pain, stress and trauma that may inhibit the ability to lead and serve the community. We provide direct, targeted, multi-dimensional interventions and personalized support so that they are able to pursue their missions to protect and serve.

What it reported doing in 2025

A broad spectrum of clients were served, both male and female. Additional goals of the organization include group training and team/organizational consulting on healing from pain, stress and trauma.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
