What Healing Together does
Mission
To build the power of communities to disrupt generational cycles of trauma and violence
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Healing Hub US: In 2023, Healing Together trained 318 educators, climate and social justice activists, and frontline community leaders in trauma-informed, healing-centered mental health care, Transformative Healing Justice, and burnout prevention, who support over 2,400 survivors of trauma & violence. Through our fiscal partnership with Oakland based, Reclaiming Our Own Transcendence (RooT), we provided Transformative Justice workshops to educators and community organizers with skills to address racial and gender-based harm through non-punitive models for community accountability and care; graduated 4 cohorts of the Healing Cycles of Harm program for survivors and enablers of interpersonal and systemic violence; and supported over 130 survivors of trauma and violence at the 5th annual People's Healing Conference & Clinic.

Training partners included schools as well as community organizations supporting women's economic empowerment and LGBTQIA community members. Training participants have since reported using the skills to heal themselves, support survivors in their families and communities, prevent suicide, and end corporal punishment. The team continues to host courageous conversations to shift cultural norms and stigma around cycles of violence and mental health through social media and YouTube channel / podcast, while also training Healing Advocates through the first ever online mental health certification training in Nepal.

The team is launched a monthly radio show in Western Uganda which educates listeners about the impact of trauma, offers practices for caring for oneself and others, invites listeners to share stories and ask questions, and breaks mental health stigma. The show has a reach of over 5 million Ugandans.

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 2022 to 2023, from $558k to $1.3M (+135%).
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: 2023 3% · 2024 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of HEALING TOGETHER’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $8k → $1.2M.
10 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% 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 TOGETHER’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 TOGETHER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% 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
57% 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 TOGETHER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 58% · 2019 85% · 2020 35% · 2021 48% · 2022 61% · 2023 49% — diversifying over time.
“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
18% of HEALING TOGETHER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
79% of HEALING TOGETHER's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M 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.
