What Our Minds Matter does
Mission
Our Minds Matter works toward a day when no teen dies by suicide. Driven by research & led by teens, omm clubs create safe, brave spaces where young people build social connections, strengthen self-care & healthy habits and create a new school culture of mental health.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
As part of the ecosystem working to solve the youth mental health crisis, omm fills a key gap through a model that is school-based, peer-led, culturally responsive, and research-driven. Working in high schools, middle schools, and community spaces, we support teen-led clubs and interventions that create tangible mental health benefits for club members as well as the student body at large. We're betting big on teens themselves to help solve the youth mental health crisis. In the 2024-25 school year, we served 3,700+ teens directly and engaged 87,000+ more through teen-led campaigns-improving mental well-being in measurable ways.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.2M to $1.5M (+19%).
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: 2019 19% · 2021 10% · 2022 24% · 2023 29% · 2024 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
59% of OUR MINDS MATTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
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 broadened from 3 funders to 23 funders, grant income rose $29k → $674k.
11 of 37 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 OUR MINDS MATTER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 37 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
OUR MINDS MATTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
68% 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 OUR MINDS MATTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 76% · 2019 60% · 2020 52% · 2021 39% · 2022 48% · 2023 36% — 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
80% of OUR MINDS MATTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
OUR MINDS MATTER draws 97% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M 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.
