Overview

Mission

To address the unmet mental health needs within our community through support, referral, education, and outreach.

What it reported doing in 2025

Inspire - Provides inspiring programs that include Ending the Silence (EtS), Ending the Silence - The Conversation Continued, In Our Own Voice, and others to eliminate stigma and encourage people to get the support they need. These presentations feature individuals living in recovery from mental illness and who share their stories of how they have overcome the challenges of a mental health condition and speak of the vibrant lives they have forged for themselves. Ending the Silence - The Conversation Continued provides teens and young adults an opportunity to discuss what came up for them out of the EtS presentation including concerns about their own mental health, self-harm ideation, taking care of peers in crisis, and other topics around mental health. These programs benefited about 700 individuals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
