We have experienced an increase of local program service hours from 2600 hours of service being provided in 2013 to 2900 hours of service being provided on a monthly basis in 2014. In addition to our locally provided support services, cbh has developed an online presence. While offering multiple programs and services to meet individual needs, cbh continues to grow support groups, stress management programs, and educational seminars. This year there has been an expansion of services to include expressive arts programs and greatly expanded individual counseling services. Currently there are 150 programs offered monthly in the sarasota/manatee counties as well as on demand programs by way of healthsupportnetwork.org online.while offering multiple programs and services to meet individual needs, cbh continues to grow support groups, stress management programs, and educational seminars.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 73% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
