Overview

Mission

Yarrow collective is a by/for/with lived experience, organization that builds non-carceral, consent-based alternatives to mental health services through peer support, recovery, and harm reduction. As a community, we: allow space for mental distress, awaken to the wisdom of our lived experiences, aspire towards healing justice, amplify our voices, and advocate for meaningful choice and change.

What it reported doing in 2024

Harm reduction & recovery programming: this program reached community members and community partnership organizations engaging in harm reduction and recovery through peer support and community education events.

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.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
