Overview

Mission

New hope provides the highest quality counseling and educational services for all ages, utilizing affordable evidence-based practices to promote personal development and independence

What it reported doing in 2024

Providing assessments, planning, facilitation, holistic outpatient mental/behavioral healthcare, evaluation, and advocacy for ALL in need, especially those least-served English and Spanish individuals, couples, or families identified at/below the 200% Federal Poverty Guidelines, kept the New Hope team very busy throughout 2024. During Covid a wait list of 4-6 months developed with over 100 people waiting for New Hope services; this continued during 2024 and ongoing. Up to 80% of these clients were served at little or no charge throughout 2024. Providing no cost services during a year of economic downturn and inability to collect from Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance companies, combined to create the financial downturn from 2023 to 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
