What Thrive Enrichment Services does
Mission
THRIVE! is committed to serving the needs of individuals who have Autism Spectrum Disorders or other neurological, intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD) with comorbid challenging behaviors and their families. THRIVE! is determined to improve every aspect of life for people who are impacted by challenging behaviors by providing them with the resources, supports, service and interventions necessary for them to lead productive, meaningful and fulfilling lives with the greatest degree of independence and self-determination possible. THRIVE! is dedicated to helping people who have comorbid challenging behaviors realize their potential and fully participate in, contribute to and benefit from their communities. Where others see problems, THRIVE! sees possibilities. We are preparing to provide direct services, which will include day habilitation, vocational training, family support, therapies and recreational opportunities.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
THRIVE! is currently in its startup phase. Once we have the necessary infrastructure and resources in place, we intend to begin offering direct services to individuals and families in Illinois that are impacted by Autism or I/DD with comorbid challenging behaviors. Specifically, we intend to offer behavior management, day habilitation, vocational training, crisis intervention and family support services; clinical, creative and expressive therapies; and recreational opportunities. While we are in the process of building capacity to provide direct services, we are providing indirect services that are designed to benefit individuals and families that are impacted by comorbid challenging behaviors everywhere in the form of online resources; information, education and awareness campaigns; and THRIVE! creative products--specifically, THRIVE! original music. Part III, Line 28. Online Resources - The THRIVE! Enrichment services website is currently under development. The site has informative articles, original infographics, educational videos and a comprehensive resource guide. THRIVE! has launched its official website!

$351 spent34% of program spendingAwareness Raising - Raising awareness about comorbid challenging behaviors and how they impact individuals, families, caregivers and communities is a high priority for THRIVE! Enrichment Services. THRIVE! is using business cards, social media, word of mouth and public access television to raise awareness about comorbid challenging behaviors and their potentially devastating effects. THRIVE! initially invested $409 to pay for promotional informational videos, images and pins to raise awareness about our work and comorbid challenging behaviors on our social media platforms. The Board President paid these expenses as an in-kind donation to THRIVE! We have not invested in any additional promotional videos since our initial investment. However, we have invested in products, services and tools to help us more efficiently promote the assets we previously invested in and expand our reach to potential clients, potential stakeholders and potential supporters. These expenditures totaled $191.72, which was paid by the organization. Last year, our public service announcements ran a total of 1,924 times on community television.
$192 spent19% of program spendingAs a nonprofit startup that operates in a funding ecosystem where it can be difficult to obtain the capital you need to operate quality programs at scale on a sustainable basis, we made the intentional choice to be an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff during our startup phase. This allows us to be both frugal and flexible, to allocate the vast majority of our funds to creating resources and programs for individuals who are impacted by disabilities with comorbid challenging behaviors, and to build capacity in a fiscally responsible manner. While we are raising and saving funds for a facility to house and operate our programs and provide services on a permanent basis, board members and volunteers perform their volunteer work from their homes or other available spaces. Our total operating costs were $479.66; of that amount $148 was paid as an in-kind donation by the Board President, and $331.66 was paid from the THRIVE! checking account. We intend to continue to implement smart financial management practices and to keep our expenses to a minimum by making necessary operating expenditures as the need arises. While we are raising funds and seeking a facility, one our main…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2k to $8k (+241%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $56 → $70.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 THRIVE ENRICHMENT SERVICES’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.
Where its funders are
100% of THRIVE ENRICHMENT 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $126 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.
