Overview

Mission

Maryville is a childcare organization rooted in Catholic social teaching and dedicated to the preservation of the dignity of children at every age. Our mission is to protect children and strengthen families while helping them reach their fullest potential by empowering their intellectual, spiritual, moral and emotional growth.Maryville's growth and impact have touched thousands of lives. From its humble beginnings as St. Mary's Training School in 1883, Maryville today serves the community in four service areas with campuses in Arlington Heights, Bartlett, Berwyn, Chicago and Des Plaines: family services, residential services, healthcare services and educational services. During fiscal year 2025, Maryville provided services to over 3,351 children, families and adults.

What it reported doing in 2024

Behavioral Services: The Family Behavioral Health Clinic (FBHC) provides vital mental health and substance use services to individuals (children, teens and adults) and families. With specialized counseling, DUI education, and recovery programs, FBHC supports prevention, stability, and community safety. Beyond clinical care, FBHC leads outreach efforts like NARCAN training to reduce stigma and raise awareness about mental health and overdose prevention. These efforts empower the community with knowledge and early intervention tools. Through partnerships with schools, healthcare providers, and social service agencies-and as part of Maryville's wraparound services, FBHC connects clients to housing, crisis support, and long-term care, making it a key force for wellness and resilience in the region.The Recover Home Network (Saint Monica and Saint Josephine Bakhita) are residences for up to 18 women between the ages of 18 and 35 and their children up to age 10. Women admitted to the programs receive individual and group treatment designed to help examine their mental health, emotional, medical, neurobiological, and socioeconomic conditions. Once an assessment is completed by a Maryville Family Behavioral Health Clinic staff, specific treatment plans will be assigned to address the unique needs of each woman. The program is designed to last six months at Saint Monica Homes. During that time, the mothers will have the opportunity to engage with a parenting coach and participate in classes. A vocational coordinator will work with each mother in a workforce development program and provide job-readiness training. Saint Josephine Bakhita Homes can follow Saint Monica Homes where mothers and their children experience a less restrictive home setting. The goal at Saint Josephine Bakhita Homes is to allow mothers to focus on gaining independence and putting into practice the life skills they have learned. During fiscal year 2025, Maryville's residential programs served 272 individuals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
