Approximately 90% of TGC revenue is generated from public sources including county budget allocations, federal & state grants, Medicaid, Medicare & Mental Health Reform Allocations - totaling approximately $7 million per year. Private insurance and private pay comprise approximately 7% of our funding stream.

During the past decade, we have received $2.4 million in combined grant funding for programs and services from the Kansas Health Foundation, the Sunflower Foundation, the Kansas Attorney General's Office, the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority, the Kansas Advisory Group on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, a State Incentive Cooperative Agreement through the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and the SRS.

All other funding to support the organization is generated through private foundation grants and private contributions. TGC conducts an annual fund drive through a direct mailing appeal in the Spring of each year. An average of $20,000 is raised through this annual campaign and is used to support programs and services. Plans are underway for an annual fundraising event to be held in May of each year beginning in 2009. We hope that $30,000 will be raised annually during this event.

We need your help to guarantee that we will continue to be here to:

• Re-integrate a person back into the community after hospitalization for severe mental illness;
• Provide treatment programs for teens with serious emotional and behavioral problems;
• Provide education, rehabilitation, social and career skills or parenting training;
• Treat an entire family suffering from the terrible effects of mental illness and substance abuse;
• Respond to psychiatric emergencies anytime, day or night, and give people the help they need.

These are just a few of the many vital services available to all in need, regardless of ability to pay. You can help make this possible. Here are some ways you can participate:

Outright Gifts - This is the simplest and most common type of gift. Gifts can include cash, securities, real estate, insurance or personal property.

Planned Gifts – Planned giving offers donors the opportunity to maximize tax advantages available for charitable donations.  The most frequently utilized vehicle is an outright bequest, but planned giving encompasses a wide variety of options that includes charitable gift annuities, life insurance, IRA’s and charitable trusts, among others.
