Programs
Our msw program is thriving. With the addition of a new full-time staff member who is a licensed clinical social worker, we have expanded our reach and enhanced our training program for msw interns to better prepare them for the upcoming school year. The acquisition of the city of santa monicas human services grant has enabled the hiring of this new staff member and will ensure the continued growth of our work with the schools of santa monica. 705 young people received mental health services and support through our direct youth services training ive never gotten so comfortable with a therapist as I did with (sewi, msw intern) I felt as though I was supported and could get through most of my problems when I talked with her about them. - youth client

$79,562 spent$8,675 earned by the program20% of program spendingThis past spring, we piloted our social and emotional learning for adults (sela) curriculum. The pilot sessions were highly successful and when asked to share what they found most valuable about them, participants reported: having time to reflect and create plans for change in my life, its hard to set aside time or feel like its necessary but it was so validating and eye-opening., it gave me the space to reflect with guidance and also hold me accountable in doing those reflections. I don't think I would do this on my own this easily., I usually do not like therapy or workshops, but the facilitators were great and down to earth. They presented and ran the workshop wonderfully. Our sela curriculum will be ready for distribution in the fall of 2024. Our social & emotional learning for youth (selfy) curriculums have been updated to better align with the evolving needs of our youth-serving partners. These revisions aim to enhance the effectiveness and relevance of the curriculums in addressing the social and emotional needs of the youth we serve.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2024 to 2025, from $489k to $433k (−12%).
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: 2022 9% · 2024 82% · 2025 91%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
