Thrive is utahs only torture treatment center, offering free, specialized, integrated, trauma-informed services for survivors and their families, without time limits, immigration restrictions, or barriers.

Our clients came to Utah from 52 countries and ranged in age from 8 to 87 years old. Our trauma-informed services are culturally sensitive, delivered at no cost, provided in the client's preferred language, and include: individual, couple, and family psychotherapy; group therapy support, and education; intensive case management; medical assessment, advocacy, and referral; interpretation; on-site psychiatric care; pharmacological and medical case management; legal referral for torture survivors seeking asylum; comprehensive client assessments and evaluation; outreach and consultation to physicians, educators, and social workers who encounter torture survivors in their practices.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 67% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
