Overview

Mission

The Missouri eating disorders association mission is to fight eating disorders, educate communities and save lives we are committed to providing information, resources and advocacy that will change the conversation around eating disorders. We strive to bring understanding and support to those treating or affected by this devastating and serious disease.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, the organization continued to provide educational presentations and resources about eating disorders and dispel damaging myths through education, advocacy, and outreach. Our feed the facts program reached over 3,000 students across the st. Louis metro area through 100-150 in-school presentations during the academic year. These sessions were led by trained presenters-including clinicians, individuals in recovery, and caregivers and focused on body image, disordered eating, and early intervention strategies. In winding down the organization, remainder assets were granted to networked, a st louis organization providing eating disorder resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
