Overview

Mission

To provide mental wellness and suicide prevention education for young people and free mental health counseling for teens and young adults.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Sam Taylor Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides mental wellness and suicide prevention education for young people and free mental health counseling for teens and young adults. We believe that cost lack of insurance or lack of access should never be a barrier to young people receiving mental education and healthcare. Our goal is to give teens and young adults the skills and support they need to lead productive lives and more importantly to be happy. The Organization spent 2022 building its infrastructure and creating relationships with its donors and with the Organizations through which it will deliever its services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
