Overview

Mission

The Heart Gallery of Northwest Texas recruits adoptive families for children who are waiting for adoption in our State's foster care system. The Heart Gallery researches the topic of adoption through foster care and educates the community about local resources that are available to them regarding adoption. The Heart Gallery recruits families for individual children and sibling groups through professional photography, partnering with local news channels to film recruitment videos, and networking with children's advocacy groups within our community and across the country. Our mission is to connect waiting children with adoptive families.

What it reported doing in 2015

The Heart Gallery of Northwest Texas's physical portrait gallery of adoptable children was displayed at 14 month-long live events throughout San Angelo in 2015. These large canvas portraits brought awareness to the need for more adoptive families in our city and the surrounding area. Portraits were displayed along with signs and rack cards explaining the purpose of the gallery and pointing families to our website for more information. The Heart Gallery of Northwest Texas website was visited 72,000 times primarily by visitors from San Angelo, Midland, Abilene, Dallas, and Austin. 2,704 visitors easily found information about how to adopt from our 'Adoption' page which lists contact information for all of our local Child Placing Agencies. Our goal of introducing children who are waiting for adoption to families who are interested in adopting was certainly met. We were also able to educate interested families about the first steps to adopt and introduce them to the organizations who can help them become licensed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
