What Nami Northwoods Inc does

Mission

NAMI Northwoods works to improve the quality of life for individuals and families affected by mental illness through education, support, and advocacy.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. NAMI Northwoods provided peer-led support, education, and outreach to individuals and families affected by mental health conditions across rural North Central Wisconsin. The organization held 32 peer-led support group meetings, serving more than 100 individuals through in-person and virtual groups facilitated by trained volunteers with lived experience. NAMI Northwoods delivered community education and outreach, reaching more than 10,000 individuals through events and engagement efforts and providing presentations to increase awareness and reduce stigma. The organization supported youth mental health through Raise Your Voice clubs in 14 schools, empowering students to lead mental health awareness and advocacy efforts. In addition, more than 120 support calls and emails were responded to, connecting individuals and families with resources and guidance. Two Family to Family education courses were completed, helping participants better understand and support loved ones living with mental illness. These efforts expanded access to support, reduced isolation, and strengthened community connections in underserved rural areas.

Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $52 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
