Programs
Provident behavioral health's counseling department is accredited by the joint commission. This department provides a variety of specialized mental health counseling services to the st. Louis metropolitan area. Counseling, as well as all other provident programming, focuses on serving the underserved. Specifically, we aim to help youth, adults, and older adults at risk of or experiencing mental health issues or at risk of suicide; individuals with challenges accessing mental health services, for reasons such as geographical location, transportation, stigma, inequity, and limited mental health resources; and/or individuals with financial barriers, including inability to afford mental health services due to limited financial resources or insufficient insurance.

Provident also provided counseling services in twenty two community-based locations, such as schools, health departments, and other non-profit agencies.

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 2022 to 2023, from $7.7M to $9.6M (+24%).
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 36% · 2018 31% · 2019 28% · 2020 28% · 2021 33% · 2022 56% · 2023 37% · 2024 23% · 2025 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
59% of PROVIDENT INC’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. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 25 funders, grant income rose $2.6M → $3.9M.
9 of 45 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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 PROVIDENT INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 45 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
PROVIDENT INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 PROVIDENT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 66% · 2019 64% · 2020 49% · 2021 43% · 2022 53% · 2023 43% — 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
64% of PROVIDENT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 73% 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
83% of PROVIDENT INC's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
Against its field
PROVIDENT INC's funding base is broadening — from 10 funders to 25 as grant income climbed.
