Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Outreach and Education - NAMI Summit County provides a variety of support group meetings and education programs to assist consumers and their families cope with mental illness. NAMI Summit County has also begun a digital marketing program through various social media outlets to help spread awareness. Support meetings are held both weekly and monthly for family and client support. The Family to Family class graduated 52 people and the Peer to Peer class graduated 5 people during 2024.

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 98% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
