Overview

Mission

Mental Health Minnesota is the voice of lived mental health experience. We carry that declaration forward as we work to advance mental health and well-being for all, increase access to mental health treatment and services, and provide education, resources and support across Minnesota.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education serves to educate individuals living with mental health conditions, their families, educators in secondary schools and colleges, students and youth, members of faith communities and synagogues, employees and employers, professional providers, and the general public in order to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, encourage mental health early screening and treatment, and promote mental health and wellness and suicide prevention.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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

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.
