Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Peace clinical - the peace (preventing the effects of adverse childhood experiences) clinical program is designed to help families combat the impacts of early adversity and reduce the likelihood of children developing toxic stress, a root cause of adult mental health conditions. Through various therapeutic services, peace helps strengthen caregiver-child relationships, while also helping children heal from stressful experiences and improve self-control and confidence in school, community, and social settings.student wellness program swp provides mental wellness screenings in partner schools, offers customized referrals to trusted mental health practitioners, and follow up case management for students and families. Students fill out a 10-minute survey regarding their emotions, thoughts and actions including indicators of depression, anxiety, thoughts of self-harm, attention-related concerns, disruptive behavior, and substance abuse. Students whose answers reveal a potential concern and those who ask for help, meet with a trained mental health professional in private to determine if a further evaluation would be helpful.

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.
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 $2.0M to $68k (−97%).
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: 2020 5% · 2021 12% · 2022 13% · 2023 9% · 2024 9% · 2025 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

79% 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 ASSOCIATION OF ST LOUIS.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $278k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
