What Healing in the Margins Inc does
Mission
To create systemic change in mental health by providing programming and resources in mental health for those who are LGBTQIA and BIPOC in our community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Healing in the Margins launched a new program initiative in 2025, called Clarksville's House of Healing. This was a significant programmatic addition which is reflected on the Form 990 for 2025.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The purpose of the Clients in the Margins Program is to provide access to safe and competent therapy services for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals in the community. The program served 497 individuals through direct on-going programming, including the Therapy Fund, Rooted + Free youth umbrella, urgent-response community group therapy programs, and partnership with the Nashville PRIDE Festival. The Therapy Fund was able to provide over $86,000 in funding towards therapy sessions (870 sessions) for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community members who qualified for financial support to see a mental health clinician of their choosing. Healing in the Margins continued its partnership with the Youth Community Action Program (YCAP) of the YMCA of Middle Tennessee to provide Rooted + Free-specially-tailored youth programming through the Clients in the Margins program. Through this offering, the organization was able to provide 10-week psychoeducation and group therapy programming for underserved middle school students on two separate YCAP campuses. Youth who participated in this program experienced slight, moderate, and significant improvements in self-esteem, mental health literacy, joy activation,…

The organization's Clinicians in the Margins program served a total of 30 clinicians who qualified for services. Clinicians were supported through community support gatherings and advanced trauma training. The organization supported a small cohort through another Brainspotting Phase I training in 2025. This training equipped clinicians with advanced tools to treat their clients' symptoms of trauma and PTSD. Healing in the Margins was also able to complete its year-long survey with fourteen of 2024 Brainspotting cohort participants, tracking the community "ripple effect" when clinicians are provided with adequate tools and resources to treat clients. The survey showed that, as a result of the Brainspotting training in 2024: 158 total Brainspotting sessions were conducted with clients in the community who are BIPOC, 175 sessions with individuals who are LGBTQIA+, 96 sessions with individuals who identify as both BIPOC and LGBTQIA+, for a total of over 429 trauma-informed therapy sessions conducted as a result 2024…

The program expanded its reach through the development of the Healing in the Margins Professional Clinical Association (HMPCA). This new extension of the Competency program is a collective of "culturally responsive providers in Tennessee." Healing in the Margins is accredited by the National Board of Certified Counselors as an Approved Continuing Education Provider for mental health professionals. In 2025, HMPCA facilitated 9 continuing education and self-care events for Tennessee mental health providers, with 95 attendees.
$16,453 spent$7,200 earned by the program6% of program spendingIn 2025, Healing in the Margins launched a new program- Clarksville's House of Healing. Clarksville's House of Healing is a direct-services mental health site, serving individuals in the Clarksville, Tennessee area with affordable, high-quality mental health care. It was identified that the LGBTQIA+ community in Clarksville felt that adequate and affirming mental health resources were lacking in the area. In response to this need, Healing in the Margins launched its direct-service site. The site operates on an income-based sliding scale, and is supported by local foundation grants to supplement the cost of therapy for individuals who need it most. In 2025, Clarksville's House of Healing provided 1,024 mental health therapy sessions. The average out of pocket cost per session for clients was $40- compared to the region's $120 per-session average for out of pocket therapy. 87% of clients reported having an increased understanding of personal trauma after only 6 sessions, and 81% reported increased ability to manage triggers effectively and reduced feelings of depression and/or anxiety. Additionally, every licensed provider, pre-licensed provider, and clinical intern at Clarksville's…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $34k to $78k (+129%).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% 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 HEALING IN THE MARGINS 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
HEALING IN THE MARGINS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% 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 HEALING IN THE MARGINS INC.
“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.
Where its funders are
83% of HEALING IN THE MARGINS 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 $10k that is directly attributable, 79% of it comes from Tennessee funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
