What Connect Summit County does
Mission
To create a well-informed and stigma-free community with access to mental health services for all residents of summit county, utah.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Programs
Access to mental health resources improving access to mental health resources is core to Connect Summit County's mission of creating a well-informed and stigma-free community with access to mental health services for all. This means the necessary mental health services must be in place; people must be able to easily find these services; the services must be high quality; and the services must be affordable and culturally competent. Connect's team is acutely aware of the urgency of addressing mental illness. We work to provide summit, wasatch, and salt lake county, utah community members with free educational programing, assistance in navigating the mental healthcare system, financial assistance for therapy, mental health awareness campaigns, access to providers, access to support groups, and advocacy for system changes. These services are offered in both english and spanish. One of connect's signature successes is the mental health resource guide. This guide is available in both spanish and english, and has versions online and in-print. The guide consists of a fluid directory of mental health services along with mental health tool kits that help people self-navigate. Launched in…
$106,352 spent50% of program spendingFinancial assistance program connect's financial assistance program is a newer initiative that provides funding for therapy for individuals who otherwise cannot afford it due to a lack of income or insurance. This program, available in both english and spanish, allows applicants to apply for financial assistance by explaining their financial situation and mental health struggle. Our mental health advocates then review the application and generally approve the applicant to receive funding at a rate of 85/session for up to 12 sessions. In certain circumstances, an applicant may apply for an extension to receive additional funding. This program benefits community members who may not have otherwise sought help for mental health issues. From the inception of connect's financial assistance program in march 2022 - march 2023, we had approximately 30 applications. We strive to increase this number to 60 per year, a 50% increase. Already in 2023, we have had over 40 applicants, and provided thousands of dollars in funding for therapy for some of these individuals. We will continue to track this number in an excel spreadsheet that is updated each time a person fills out an application and…
$21,269 spent10% of program spendingEducation and advocacy by responding to the voice of the people of summit county to increase advocacy efforts and influence mental health public policy, Connect Summit County has addressed unmet mental health needs. Connect Summit County actively engages community partners, brand ambassadors, and volunteers to attend public meetings to champion mental health policy and participates in ongoing advocacy to citizens and local government for improved mental health services. Collaboration has been key to our growth in the community, and we are now considered the "hub" for connecting community members to the vast amount of mental health resources in summit and wasatch counties. Our community partners rely on us to help promote their programs and events, and this has also fostered the expansion into the latinx community. Thanks to outreach by our spanish speaking mental health advocate and our previous spanish speaking program director from argentina, we were able to connect with the spanish-speaking communities who have not felt comfortable talking about mental health nor seeking services for mental health concerns, and we are now working to embed culturally competent information in all…

The 4 programs described on its FY2022 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $212,700.
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 2019 to 2020, from $95k to $347k (+264%).
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: 2019 2% · 2020 13% · 2021 1% · 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of CONNECT SUMMIT COUNTY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $35k → $54k.
4 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 80% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CONNECT SUMMIT COUNTY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CONNECT SUMMIT COUNTY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
94% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CONNECT SUMMIT COUNTY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 62% · 2019 63% · 2020 60% · 2021 38% · 2022 76% · 2023 50% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
42% of CONNECT SUMMIT COUNTY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
80% of CONNECT SUMMIT COUNTY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $163k that is directly attributable, 68% of it comes from funders outside Utah, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $639k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
