Overview

Mission

Partnership with children's mission is to strengthen the emotional, social, and cognitive skills of children in New York city so they can succeed in school, society, and life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Comprehensive school-based mental health services: we placed masters-level clinical social workers into 9 public and charter schools in nyc's most under-resourced communities. Our staff are based full-time in the schools, providing mental health services that include individual and group counseling, classroom interventions, case management, and home visits and are grounded in social-emotional learning (sel), trauma-informed care, and neuroscience. Our programs increase student wellness, attendance, on-task behavior, and achievement levels; improve teachers' classroom management skills and increase their time spent on instruction; reduce violence and suspensions; and engage parents and families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 78% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
