01What it does

What The Production Farm Inc does

Mission

The production farm provides mental health support, any way, anywhere.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. The production farm provides behavioral and mental health services to youth from hard places to provide mental health support, any way, anywhere. Using outside the box methods rooted in evidence based practices, the behavioral health program consists of psychosocial rehabilitation and skill development, focused on client based needs and goals. This is done through trust based relational methods and creative artistic outlets, as well as access to activities and experiences that the youth may not have otherwise had access to. The production farm provides over 200+ intensive face to face service hours per week.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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.

Who funds it, year by year

first grant+1y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $82k 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.
