Mission and programs · 2024

• Recovery, Youth, and Prevention: NAMI Chicago works with the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide peer-based outreach and engagement for almost 600 individuals per year transitioning out of Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Facilities (SMHRFs) and Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) into independent community living. Peer support specialists also provide in-home recovery support to individuals recently discharged from these facilities. Grounded in their lived experience, peer support specialists offer personalized guidance in adjusting to new environments, developing independent living skills, and managing potential stressors. They support individuals in their recovery journey and equip them with the essential skills to integrate into the community and successfully maintain independent living. NAMI Chicago's commitment to peer support also establishes critical roles for peers within the mental health workforce. Through NAMI Chicago's support groups, people connect with others who've been there who know what it's like, and who can offer support without judgment. Support groups also provide a safe space for skill-building opportunities, and a sense of hope that recovery is possible. Three hundred and fifty support groups were held this year with more than 1,700 attendees, consistently reporting feeling safe, supported, and more connected to others.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
