What Connection Cafe Inc does
Mission
The organization's mission is to provide a safe environment that accepts people as they are and to provide harm reduction services for supporting individuals on their recovery journey. The connection cafe was built on the idea that there is no "one size fits all" way to recovery. To everyone who walks through our doors, we love and accept you as you are. We are here to support you in whatever forms of recovery you choose.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The activities include harm reduction and addiction support recovery services including street outreach, syringe access and disposal, referrals to mental health & substance use disorder treatment centers, hiv/hcv testing, peer support group services, transportation assistance, life services such as shower facilities, washer & dryer, refreshments, social activities such as live music, poetry, card games, storytelling, open mic nights as a safe and welcoming place for recovering adults.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $70k to $275k (+293%).
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: 2022 29% · 2023 72% · 2024 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
53% of CONNECTION CAFE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
