What Mental Health America of Greater Houston Inc does
Mission
To drive community solutions promoting mental health. Through innovative collaborations, education, and advocacy, we lead change to promote mental health and prevent mental illness in the Greater Houston region.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2025, MHA of Greater Houston launched a formal Workplace Wellness program to support organizations in creating cultures where people can perform at their best and feel supported. Through customized training and consultation, we equip leaders and teams with practical tools to reduce burnout, improve communication, and strengthen workplace culture. The work goes beyond check-the-box solutions, focusing on lasting change that supports both well-being and organizational success.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Our Integrated Care Initiative focused on strengthening coordination between mental and physical health providers to support more whole-person care. Due to funding constraints and a strategic shift to prioritize scalable, direct-service programs like Care Connect, the initiative was sunset in 2025. We also made the decision to sunset our Behavioral Health Consultant Certification Course in 2025 due to low participation and limited demand.

See Schedule OIn 2025, we expanded our behavioral health navigation services, now known as Care Connect, a free, coordinated system that helps individuals find, access, and follow through with mental health care. More than a referral service, Care Connect guides people through the process and stays engaged until they are successfully connected to care. The program includes a database of more than 800 vetted providers offering a wide range of services for individuals and families. This resource can be accessed through an easy-to-use online search tool or by connecting directly with a live Community Resource Specialist via phone, text, or email for personalized support. Through peer support and collaborative partnerships, veterans continue to receive the services needed to…

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 2018 to 2019, from $3.4M to $5.1M (+48%).
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 22% · 2022 11% · 2023 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of Mental Health America of Greater Houston Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 21 funders to 15 funders, grant income fell $2.2M → $1.3M.
12 of 63 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.3M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest MHA of Greater Houston Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Mental Health America of Greater Houston Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Mental Health America of Greater Houston Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 63 funders by total. 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
61% 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 Mental Health America of Greater Houston Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 50% · 2018 39% · 2019 46% · 2020 35% · 2021 71% · 2022 37% · 2023 34% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
