What Places for People Incorporated does
Mission
To improve the physical and behavioral health of the individuals, families, and communities we serve and those who support the provision of these services.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Places for People's adult mental health, residential and substance use programs partner with persons served to address mental illness, homelessness, trauma, substance use disorders, and serious health problems. Teams coordinate medical and psychiatric care, substance use treatment, housing, medication management, activities of daily living, treatment planning and goal setting, linkage with community resources, supportive counseling, and crisis intervention. Places For People's children and youth programs offer services for youth experiencing behavioral health problems, including court interventions, by providing intensive in-home family centered services. In addition, children services provide an early intervention program that helps address behavioral concerns and offers positive strategies for promoting good behavior. The Behavioral Health Center of Excellence, Illume, is a collaborative program that promotes, collaborates, and trains partners, both regional and world-wide, in evidence-based practices in behavioral health.

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 2019 to 2020, from $15M to $25M (+71%).
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: 2017 19% · 2018 14% · 2019 15% · 2020 17% · 2021 26% · 2022 20% · 2023 92% · 2024 91% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
8% of Places for People Incorporated’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (7% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 14 funders, grant income rose $51k → $158k.
6 of 33 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 22% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $1.8M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Missouri Coalition for Community Behavioral Healthcare). These are real filings, and they are not money Places for People Incorporated raised.
From the IRS filings of Places for People Incorporated’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 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
Places for People Incorporated leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
32% 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 Places for People Incorporated.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 55% · 2019 52% · 2020 84% · 2021 75% · 2022 44% · 2023 40% — broadly stable.
“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
38% of Places for People Incorporated's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
Places for People Incorporated draws 77% of its grant income from funders outside Missouri, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $726k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
