Overview

Mission

To create an emotionally healthy environment that can provide services for everyone, regardless of cultural background, age, economic status or religion.

What it reported doing in 2024

Magnolia counseling was able to accomplish its public benefit mission in 2024, by providing 800 hours of service at a 50% discount as compared to equal or like quality mental health services in our local service area. We also were able to provide an additional 4,000 in discounts to individuals and families in need of neurofeedback and brain training services. While our orginal mission remains the same, we have added important mental health services such as qeeg brain mapping, eeg neurofeedback and cns vitals performance tracking. These new services help to support our mission of more afordable mental healthcare for our communities.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
