FINANCIAL INFORMATION...

NAMI Montgomery County is a 501c(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Approximately 78 cents of every dollar NAMI spends goes to providing education, support and advocacy for people with serious and persistent mental illnesses, their families and caregivers. The other 22 cents supports our management, fundraising and general expenses.

Contributions allow volunteers and staff to provide all of NAMI’s services free of charge. NAMI has more than 220 program volunteers supported by 6 staff members and 5 office volunteers. In addition, 8-10 Thrift Shop employees and about 40 Thrift Shop volunteers collect and process donations of clothing, furniture and household items which are then sold to fund NAMI’s programs.

We rely on the support of the community to help all people living with mental illness to be treated with compassion, fairness and understanding.

Last fiscal year (July 1, 2008-June 30, 2009), NAMI had revenues of just over $499,000. Our main sources of revenue were:

• Thrift Shop Sales
  • Made possible by those who donate clothes or household goods, as well as those who shop here. Unlike some for-profit thrift shops, all net proceeds from the shop support NAMI MC’s programs. The Thrift Shop exists to support NAMI’s work.
• Grants
• Public Support
  • Includes individual contributions made directly to NAMI and those made through United Way, CFC or America’s Charities campaigns, as well as car donations.
• Special Events
  • Events like the Heroes Dinner, the NAMI Walk and the Golf Tournament brought in revenue and helped to build community;
• Membership Dues
  • More than 800 NAMI members demonstrate their belief in NAMI’s support, education and advocacy through their annual dues.

NAMI’s biggest expenses are payroll and rent and related. Most of NAMI’s expenses are program-related as follows:

• Child & Adolescent
• Family-to-Family
• General Education & Support (materials and meetings)
• Consumer Programs ("In Our Own Voice" and Peer-to-Peer)
• Latino Outreach
• Newsletter
• Miscellaneous Programs and Events

Management & General represents the time and overhead expenses of the Executive Director, the Office Manager and the Bookkeeper not allocated to programs, and Fundraising represents the time and overhead expenses related to the Holiday Appeal and grant writing and processing. Overhead expense allocations are based on the management and administrative staff’s time.

NAMI’s goal is to accumulate 6 month’s worth of reserves to be used for operating expenses in case of financial downturn.

In addition to NAMI Montgomery County, there is a separate but related entity, the NAMI Montgomery County Endowment Fund. The proceeds of the annual golf tournament (with the exception of mulligan money) go to the Endowment Fund.

NAMI Montgomery County MD’s annual audit and IRS Form 990 are prepared by Richard L. LeFever Inc., Certified Public Accountant.
