Mission

The mission of the mental health association in morgan county is to support families experiencing mental health issues, educate our community about mental health concerns, and advocate for mental health awareness.

What it reported doing in 2024

Alzheimer's programs - the annual caddell conference, monthly support groups and educational materials to provide support and education to alzheimer and dementia caregivers and professions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 81% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

STRONG - 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.
