Overview

Mission

Icoy promotes the safety, health, and success of Illinois' children, youth, and families by acting as a collective voice for policy and practice, and by connecting and strengthening the organizations that serve them.

What it reported doing in 2024

Support and coordination of redeploy Illinois, a state program designed to decrease the commitment of youth to secure juvenile facilities by changing fiscal incentives. Redeploy Illinois and the redeploy Illinois focused program work with community-based providers to offer services to youth involved with the juvenile justice system in their home communities, reducing reliance on secure confinement. Since the inception of the program in 2005, redeploy Illinois sites have diverted thousands of youth from secure juvenile justice facilities saving the state more than $88 million in unnecessary incarceration costs. Icoy provides training and technical assistance to the counties and judicial circuits that are host to redeploy Illinois program sites.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 84% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
