What Cooperriis Inc does
Mission
Mission: our healing mission is to improve the lives of individuals struggling with mental illness or other mental health challenges by helping them work towards achieving their highest levels of functioning and fulfillment. Vision: we envision a future where the stigma against individuals with mental health conditions has disappeared, where all individuals with mental illness will have the opportunity to recover, and where these individuals will be accepted into their communities as responsible and contributing citizens. We believe that recovery from serious mental illness is possible. We also believe that recovery comes in different forms. At our residential treatment centers, we give our residents the right to define their mental health recovery, whether it's to live independently, gain satisfying employment or achieve a higher level of meaningful social interaction. Our story: Cooperriis Inc, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in western north carolina. It was founded in

Programs
The farm our core program is at the farm which is on 94-acres located in mill spring, nc near asheville. The farm has 36 separate rooms in three lodges with private baths for adult men and women aged 18 and over. Residents engage in meaningful work activities in partnership with a full array of clinical services. Staff and residents live, work and play together to form a community that supports and provides the core for supported recovery. The average stay at the farm is 3-6 months, when residents often move on into our asheville community program where skills of independent living are learned. An area of focus at the farm are services for autism and neurodiversity. Rather than having a separate program for autism spectrum disorder, we have intentionally implemented tools and techniques that help someone with neurodiversity and level 1 autism to have a better treatment experience while in our care. Cooperriis offers a partial scholarship program for farm residents beginning at the third month of stay. Since opening in 2003, cooperriis has provided rate reductions in excess of 32.6 million. An extended care program is offered as well for longer term placements.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2024 to 2025, from $11M to $16M (+43%).
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: 2021 9% · 2022 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 5 funders, grant income rose $70k → $81k.
13 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 COOPERRIIS INC’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
COOPERRIIS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 19% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
53% 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 COOPERRIIS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 36% · 2018 52% · 2019 49% · 2020 52% · 2021 60% · 2022 73% · 2023 56% — 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
19% of COOPERRIIS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
52% of COOPERRIIS INC'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 $618k that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 11 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $676k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
