$191,130 spent$193,619 earned by the program100% of program spendingConducting the Getting to Yes study engaged a number of expert members, researchers and families with lived experience to compose a report that points to excellence in practice or occasions in service delivery that should be repeated to improve care for children and youth. A final report was developed over 2024 with attention to the experiences of children, families and professionals. In 2025 we anticipate the report will be published and additional guidance shared with professionals and others interested in the learning on how unique practices brought value to children during their boarding and intensive mental health services journey.
Leadership Training- Additional working groups and committees were established to elevate leadership goals of association members and partners. Each committee has contributed to development of shared information, positions and recommendations for improvement of quality care. An annual conference was hosted to share practical leadership skills, create opportunity for collaboration and inspire continued development and growth of the wider child and family serving field.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $168k to $250k (+49%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 15% · 2024 38% · 2025 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
77% of ASPIREMN’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
