Overview

Mission

At The Minority Psychology Network, Mental Health Awareness is at the forefront of what we're working together towards. Our programs and events are designed to be a catalyst that helps community members reach their Mental Health goals and fulfill their potential. The Minority Psychology Network strives to reduce the stigma that surrounds Mental Health within minority communities by spreading education about how stigma is formed and maintained culturally and environmentally. Through this Network, we aim to facilitate accessibility to Mental health and culturally relatable personnel for members in the minority communities.

What it reported doing in 2021

We have built an app, with help from Clavax Technologies LLC, for MPN to make our resources more accessible to the community.

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 97% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
