What Council of the Southern Mountains Inc does
Mission
The council of the southern mountains strives to provide quality services and opportunities to help people achieve the dignity of self-sufficiency. As the agency meets the needs of the changing society and the population shift, csm continues to fill in the gaps through direct services and referrals to other agencies.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Title xix of the social security act of 1965 requires each state provide program assistance in seeking increased levels of service for individuals with behavioral health needs. These individuals need skills training that could lead to full participation within their communities through development of their abilities.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $1.2M to $600k (−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: 2017 97% · 2018 56% · 2019 57% · 2020 62% · 2021 46% · 2022 38% · 2023 35% · 2024 33% · 2025 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
