The expansion came from enactment of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between valley-wide health system and Southeast Mental Health Services (Southeast).
(CONTINUED) Southeast operated as a Community Mental Health Center and is affiliated with Southeast Behavioral Health Group, Partnership for Progress, Family Guidance Institute, and Southeast Wellness Works, LLC (collectively, the Health Group). To better serve its communities and to capitalize on available synergies the Boards of Directors of Valley-Wide Health System and the Health Group deemed it to be in the best interest of all parties for Valley-Wide Health System to enter into a transaction with Southeast and its respective affiliates. As a result of the agreement, valley-wide health system became a related entity of the Southeast Mental Health Services.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $3.2M to $5.6M (+78%).
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 17% · 2018 27% · 2019 12% · 2021 29% · 2022 30% · 2023 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $38k → $10k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 57% 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 SOUTHEAST MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 6 of 7 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
SOUTHEAST MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
67% 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 SOUTHEAST MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 87% · 2019 96% · 2020 80% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
57% of SOUTHEAST MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $265k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $357k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
