Overview

Mission

Logos Healing Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing access to effective mental health therapy for survivors of human trafficking and complex trauma. We operate exclusively for educational and charitable purposes as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

What it reported doing in 2025

Through our Journey Program, Logos Healing Institute delivered mental health support to self-identified survivors of sex trafficking and complex trauma through weekly individual and group therapy at little to no cost. This program removes financial barriers so survivors can access the long-term support needed for sustainable healing. This program is operated and funded through Colorado State Medicaid and private donors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 63% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
