Overview
Mission
Iron Tribe Network (ITN) is a Community of Belonging where people can be understood and accepted. We focus on building community through programs and services for wellness and recovery including peer support, housing and family reunification for individuals and families overcoming pressures and barriers while in transition to leading a life that reflects their values. We aim to promote recovery for people affected by criminality, addictions, mental health, pressures and/or barriers in a safe environment.
What it reported doing in 2024
Itn's family wellness programs provides services strengthening, preserving and reunifying families, with the goal of reducing trauma to children who are removed from their families of origin because of reasons of abuse, neglect or other circumstances and to resolve those issues by offering family-focused services starting with initial assessment and extending to after-care services when chidren are returned home. Itn safely and equitably reduces the number of children in the foster care system by reducing the lenghth of stay in foster care, maintaining children safely at home with their parents and reducing the re-referral and reentry rates of families into the child welfare system. During 2024, 112 children were safely reunited with their families, thus avoiding or leaving foster care. In addition, itn holds community meetings for persons in recovery, holds activities for youth/young adults of itn families, and holds events with guest speakers sharing lived experiences and building a community of support.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
