What it reported doing in 2024
The Center is dedicated to providing multi-disciplinary mental health services to individuals, couples, and families in the greater Charlotte community regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, faith, or sexual orientation.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 89% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
