Overview
Mission
Liminal Terrestrial is a non-profit organization committed to growth, transformation, and healing by providing inclusive access to art and art therapy.
What it reported doing in 2024
2024 was our second full year of services and programming. Our objectives for 2024 were to sustain revenue to fund all our primary programs (including costs for one full-time employee and the incorporation of a new HRA benefit program). Our longer-term goal to discover the strongest needs of the community, and to shape our programs accordingly, was most impacted by increasing interest in supervision services, as well as community demand for expertise in neurodiversity and how to cope in a polarizing time in America. We continued to offer differing programs targeting these identified community populations and used this to evaluate the community need. Therapy Services: The largest and primary program (Art Psychotherapy services) continued to grow in 2024 from 32 clients and 672 sessions in 2023 to 33 clients and a total of 733 sessions. Consultations: Our second largest activity is our Consultations Program. In 2024, we increased our facilitation and participation in one-on-one, peer-to-peer and peer-to-specialist consultations. We continued to facilitate and participate in peer consultation groups (including Arboretum Professional Building Therapists, Capitol Hill Expressive Arts Therapists, Antioch Alumni Art Therapists, Therapy Certifications & Trainings Study Group, and Healthcare Provider Consultations Outreach). When offered by our organization alone, these groups and consultations were again provided at no charge, allowing dozens of therapists to share valuable training and insights with each other. Therapist Supervision: The third program (Supervision-based services) also saw success. Our lower-cost supervision offerings to cohorts of post-graduate art therapists seeking national accreditation remained steady, and saw graduation from the program leading to licensure for 3 supervisees, the same number as in 2023.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
