What St Catherine's Center for Children does
Mission
St. Catherine's center for children provides a comprehensive range of human services designed to offer hope, foster growth, and improve the lives of the children and families we serve.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
St. Catherine's residential program is based on client need for intensive care in a therapeutic setting. Services include individual, group, and family therapy; psychiatric and psychological evaluation; emergency/crisis stabilization and assessment; and daily recreational activity planning. Permanency planning is a critical element of the program. The permanency plan identifies obstacles and barriers to home placement, and establishes a treatment plan designed to help a child return to his or her home as soon as possible. When a return to a child's home of original becomes impossible, adoption or foster care placement are possible alternatives to residential care.
$5,566,421 spent$5,932,327 earned by the program28% of program spendingSt. Catherine's r&e may school is a day treatment program that serves elementary school students with behavioral and special education needs that cannot be met in a traditional school setting. Each student entering the program undergoes an individual assessment to determine his or her needs. The r&e may school staff - consisting of special education teachers, mental health professionals, and social workers and clinicians - then develops a comprehensive education plan tailored to meet the needs of each student. The school works closely with the child's family and home school district, helping the student develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary to successfully return to a traditional school environment.

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 2020 to 2021, from $10M to $15M (+44%).
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: 2018 1% · 2019 0% · 2020 3% · 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

6 of 40 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $270k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
