990 for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Through funding provided by the City of St. Louis Office for Violence Prevention (OVP), Ignite Hope employed two full-time therapists and two case managers to provide trauma-informed therapy and case management services across all core programs-Ignite (women's trauma), SPARK (youth and family therapy), Reflections (older adult trauma), FLASH (suicide support), and TRU (transition-age youth). This grant also supported partial rent and staff fringe benefits, ensuring equitable access to mental health care for vulnerable residents impacted by violence and trauma. In 2024, OVP-funded staff provided 295 groups in the community and assessed 114 clients for therapy and/or case management sessions.
    Expenses $198,379 · grants $200,043 · revenue $33,400
  • The Reflections program provides trauma-informed individual and group therapy for adults age 55 and older who have experienced loss, violence, or other adverse life events. During the year, Ignite Hope received $24,091.09 in grant funding to offer these services at no cost to participants. Licensed clinicians facilitated individual counseling sessions and groups focused on coping skills, resilience, and social connection. A total of 72 clients were served through this initiative, resulting in improved emotional wellness, reduced isolation, and strengthened support networks for older adults in St. Louis City and County.
    Expenses $24,091 · grants $24,091
  • Ignite Hope partnered with Vision for Children at Risk (VCR) to strengthen trauma-informed care capacity among their case managers and family support specialists. Under this collaboration, Ignite Hope clinicians provided monthly professional development trainings focused on trauma response, compassion fatigue, and family engagement. In addition, Ignite Hope was contracted to complete biopsychosocial assessments and provide individual therapy services for VCR-referred clients. During the year, over 40 clients were assessed and connected to ongoing mental-health treatment. This partnership enhanced service coordination and increased access to trauma-responsive care for families throughout the St. Louis region.
    Expenses $24,000 · revenue $24,000
  • Outside of the 3 main programs (OVP, VCR, and Aging Funding), Ignite Hope had smaller programs and MOU's that brought in revenue, in additional to revenue from services rendered including therapy and case management.
    Expenses $36,903 · revenue $68,362
