$57,000 spentof which $57,000 as grants78% of program spendingOne of the Foundation's biggest and most regular activities is to organize and host Summits focused on access to care, workforce issues, and awareness of behavioral health in Maine. These Summits bring together members of the public across provider, consumer, lived experience, higher education, policymaker, and state office communities to educate and engage with one another to identify and prioritize cross-sector collaborative solutions to improve behavioral health access in Maine for individuals and families seeking care and treatment. Eventual recommendations and ensuing next steps are captured in a report. The Summits typically attract 70 to 100 participants. The Foundation has hosted Summits in FY 2021 and FY 2024, comprising approximately 50% and 20% of the respective FY's expense budget.
$6,870 spent$2,950 earned by the program9% of program spendingIn FY 2022 and 2023, the Foundation's statewide Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Learning Collaboratives sought to assist Maine behavioral health agencies in establishing the CCBHC model to expand access to care in Maine and to leverage available resources to educate and strategically plan for CCBHC required competencies, training, and implementation in Maine, in partnership with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and key stakeholders. CCBHCs as ultimately implemented serve over 20,000 Mainers statewide with comprehensive, same day behavioral health services. Approximately 75 individuals across 6 organizations participated in each of the Learning Collaboratives. The Learning Collaborative comprised approximately 49% of the FY2021 expense budge and 58% of the FY2024 expense budget.

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 2019 to 2020, from $335k to $166k (−50%).
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: 2021 49% · 2022 46% · 2023 81% · 2024 85%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
90% of The Maine Behavioral Health Foundation’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 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.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $110k → $172k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
The Maine Behavioral Health Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
27% 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 The Maine Behavioral Health Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2020 67% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 97% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
96% of The Maine Behavioral Health Foundation's grant income comes from Maine funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
