What Mitchell's Place Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, research-based services for children and families affected by autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. We strive to unlock the potential of individuals affected by autism spectrum disorder by providing quality diagnostic, educational and therapeutic services. Mitchell's place is an innovative, evidence-based center that is committed to providing a nurturing environment aimed at improving the quality of life for our clients and families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
At december 31, 2025 the organization decided to shut down operations at the southside location.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Our aba (applied behavior analysis) therapy programs provide year-round therapeutic intervention to children on the autism spectrum based on the science of applied behavior analysis. Our aba programs are bhcoe accredited for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, which certifies that we operate at the highest service and ethical level. Using this evidence-based therapy, we work to increase language while reducing maladaptive behaviors to help our children learn at their full potential while they are in our building. We served approximately 19 students in these programs in a one-on-one capacity.
$2,800,437 spent$2,014,138 earned by the program58% of program spendingOur early learning preschool (elp) is a year-round academic and behavior focused preschool that serves both children on the autism spectrum and neurotypical children. Our elp is accredited through cognia and meets the highest academic standards for a preschool setting. We received 4 stars through the department of human resources quality rating and improvement system, and we are now a first-class preschool with the state of alabama. Students on the autism spectrum receive the same academic standards as our neurotypical peers, but they also receive applied behavior analysis, speech therapy and occupational therapy throughout the week. Our classrooms look at everything through a behavioral lens so that we can provide the best environment for all our students. We served 38 students in this program.
$1,249,426 spent$899,914 earned by the program26% of program spendingOur related services programs include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and feeding therapy, which are offered year-round to clients inside our facility and through outpatient services as well. Having these services available to our aba programs and elp program offers our families the ability to drop their child off at 8:00 and pick them up at 4:00 without having to go anywhere else for services once they leave our building. Our founders always envisioned a one-stop-shop for autism, and this was part of the vision. Collaboration between all programs allows us to treat the whole child and helps increase the likelihood that each child will reach their full potential. This department services approximately 75 clients.
$598,384 spent$430,070 earned by the program13% of program spendingOur psychology department offers comprehensive evaluations for autism, and assessments for other neurodevelopmental disabilities and psychological concerns. Clients can also receive individual and family therapy, school testing, school consulting, and feeding therapy. We evaluate from 18 months through adulthood. Our advocacy/consulting program offers individual and school consulting as well as advocacy training for parents. We work with schools by providing professional development, set up classrooms to have better success behaviorally and work with individual students who need a little extra support. Our advocacy program is a 9-10-month program using a curriculum to help parents understand special education and all the processes involved, including how to navigate the public school system so that their child receives all that he/she is entitled to because of their disability.

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 2024 to 2025, from $3.2M to $2.3M (−28%).
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: 2018 5% · 2019 6% · 2020 7% · 2021 7% · 2022 23% · 2023 16% · 2024 6% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
23% of MITCHELL'S PLACE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 31 funders, grant income rose $141k → $525k.
11 of 65 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 MITCHELL'S PLACE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 65 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.
How concentrated its funding is
MITCHELL'S PLACE INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
51% 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 MITCHELL'S PLACE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 22% · 2019 29% · 2020 29% · 2021 22% · 2022 17% · 2023 21% — 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
42% of MITCHELL'S PLACE INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
88% of MITCHELL'S PLACE INC's grant income comes from Alabama funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $588k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
