Overview
Mission
Simply grace exists to provide a safe, structured environment to assist women recovering from substance abuse, help to rebuild their lives and achieve long term recovery. The program deals with their spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Organization specializes in working with chemically dependent adult women, in order to improve their mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health through an integrated system of group and individual counseling services. The Organization offers a wide range of services including 12-step facilitation, experiential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy and group therapy. The program goal is to empower them to gain emotional and physical sobriety through development of healthy relationships, feeling and coping with emotions, reconnecting with themselves, their family, and their community, learning to write their own story for their future, developing techniques to be fully present and accepting of the moment, uncovering their true self so that they can become who they authentically are and want to be, developing tools to create a life worth living, and discovering new and better ways to cope with life's problems.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
