Overview

Mission

The Partnership for Resilience works to improve academic, health, and social outcomes for children by fostering trauma-responsive schools and effective family, school, health, and community partnerships.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Partnership builds school community partnerships, and it provides training to school staff members in the south suburban area of Cook county, as well as in the southernmost areas of Illinois. All the Partnership's efforts are geared toward the children of impoverished households, as well as those who have experienced adversity in succeeding in school and life. During this fiscal year, the Partnership continued to successfully execute its professional development offerings to via on-line delivery and continued its efforts to help early education providers in southern Illinois become trauma-responsive. Through a partnership with the children's research triangle, tele-counselling services continued to be provided in south suburban Cook county. In its third year of operation, the parent mentor program was able to transition to a remote format to provide partnering school districts the classroom support they requested from parent volunteers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
