Overview

Mission

To help people with mental illnesses pursue a meaningful life through reintegration - the process by which a person with a mental illness finds meaningful work, restores his or her relationships, and moves toward independent living.

What it reported doing in 2024

J.o.i.n. (jobs opportunities in network) - training persons with serious mental illness in general office work such as proper use of telephones and fax machines, appointment making, and computer work.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 81% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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 the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
