Overview

Mission

The purpose of giving voice to mental illness, inc. Is to increase awareness and reduce the stigma and isolation of depression, one story at a time.

What it reported doing in 2024

Gvtd is a podcast featuring the intimate shared stories of weekly guests. Each episode follows the evidence-based story arch of describing the guests' mental health challenges (depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, suicidal ideation) and how they manage and/or have recovered from their mental illness. Shared personal stories (vs data) have been repeatedly proven most effective in fighting stigma. Gvtd also creates and posts original mental health social media posts daily and speaks at mental-health and suicide prevention events. In 2024 we hit 2m podcast plays.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
