Overview

Mission

To provide support and resources to children, teens, young adults and their families who are grieving a death.

What it reported doing in 2022

Our treehouse family night supports families with children ages 5 to 12 who are experiencing grief after the death of a parent or sibling. Trained facilitators offer peer to peer support groups that provide a safe place for grieving families to come together and support one another. These groups are free of charge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
