What it reported doing in 2019

Our organization operates a warm/support line 24/7/365. This phone line is dedicated for people to call to talk to another peer. Many people have called telling us they didn't know what to do and were thinking about going to the hospital. After talking with one of us, they feel better and are able to deal with the situation which made them feel bad to begin with.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 81% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
