St. Louis opioid overdose reduction grasssroots project: fatal opioid involved overdoses among black men and women have increased in the city of st. Louis every year since at least 2019. In 2020, the st. Louis metropolitan area accounted for 82% of all fatal overdoses of black people in the state of missouri. Rates of fentanyl-involved deaths continue to be highest among black males in st. Louis city. To address the ongoing increase in overdose fatalities the missouri department of mental health requested assistance at the local level to develop a strategy to reduce these deaths. Dmh agreed to pilot a radically innovative inside/out: approach to empower and build capacity of "grassroot" based entities as viable partners. The identified primary investment strategy was based on the principle that the people who live in the neighborhoods/communities we hope to positively impact are the experts and recognizing the hard work that is occurring by both faith and non-faith groups in community, often with few resources and utilizing volunteers, and not sustained by contracts or grants.

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 2017 to 2018, from $503k to $634k (+26%).
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.

100% 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 MISSOURI MENTAL HEALTH FOUNDATION.
