These events took place at two SeekHealing Centers in Waynesville and Asheville, NC; as well as online and on-site at partner facilities. Participants were referred to these events through local treatment centers, private therapists, non-profit case managers, social workers, and justice diversion programs.

They each represent one or more intersections of the following historically marginalized demographics: Black, Brown, Indigenous or Spanish-speaking; LGBTQIA+; younger than 25; older than 65; experiencing homelessness; recently incarcerated; living in rural isolation; and/or Neurodivergent. These grassroots leaders are establishing hyperlocal rhythms in their communities for trauma-informed support structures, mutual aid coordination, and non-clinical mental health organizing. The innovation at the heart of this initiative is a new kind of regional public health infrastructure: one that equips everyday residents to lead mental health first aid and resilience-building in their own neighborhoods and…
Social Health Facilitation Training (SHFT): Social Health Facilitation Training (SHFT) is an immersive training course that empowers helping professionals, heart-centered leaders, and community builders to develop leadership confidence. Students learn how to create sustainable healing connection experiences one-on-one and in groups without overgiving, burning out, or carrying the burden of others mental health and recovery alone. The course empowers grassroots leaders to create safe, trauma-informed, and non-clinical support groups and social events that address loneliness. In 2025, we delivered two SHFT cohorts with a 94% graduation rate across 31 total participants. 11 of these participants completed our certification program and are now involved in delivering social health programs in their local communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $112k to $249k (+123%).
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.
91% of SeekHealing’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $2k → $355k.
5 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% 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 SeekHealing’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
SeekHealing leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 93% · 2021 85% · 2022 32% · 2023 72% — 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
60% of SeekHealing's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
87% of SeekHealing's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $173k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
