Mission

As a leading human services provider for children, adults, and families in need, we deliver innovative, collaborative, and resourceful care.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Enhances the lives of children, families and adults in need

  • Hillcrest Family Services, Inc. is located in Dubuque, Iowa. The purpose of the Organization is to provide a range of educational, counseling, and health services to individuals and families in an effort to improve the welfare of their clients.For nearly 50 years, Hillcrest's spiritual history has been rooted in Methodist and Presbyterian affiliations. And long before that time, Hillcrest had always been celebrated for providing services to all, regardless of their religious affiliations and their beliefs. Still, we believe that a spiritual connection can make a difference in a person's complete well-being. Statement continued on Schedule O.Residential Foster Group ServicesHillcrest provides residential foster group care services to children in need. The care provided is derived from a set of core values that includes, but is not limited to, integrity, compassion, advocacy, optimism, dignity, professionalism, cultural sensitivity, and respecting the importance of human relationships and self-determination.Children need families for a better life. It's really as simple as that. But there is nothing simple when it comes to the complexities of adoption. That's where Hillcrest Family Services fits in. We've helped facilitate the adoption process for thousands of families thereby making the lives of thousands of children so much better.Professional Health ServicesHillcrest Family Services provides a variety of professional health care services to promote health and wellness. The services include a Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, pregnancy prevention and unplanned pregnancy counseling, tobacco prevention, parents supporting parents' program, and integrated physical and brain health care coordination.Homeless Health ServicesHomelessness is a nationwide problem and Iowa is no exception. Through our homeless outreach programs, and working collaboratively with other service providers, we treat people with brain health concerns and those suffering with issues of substance abuse who are chronically homeless or in imminent risk of being homeless.Other Health ServicesHillcrest offers many comprehensive programs and services for children and adults ranging from the treatment of brain health disorders and wellness advocacy to transitional living and in-home support. With our team of therapists, case managers, counselors, and program specialists, we're able to offer a variety of treatment options.Hillcrest has 30 licensed therapists on staff who can assist individuals with their brain health needs. Many of our therapists are trained in particular specialties of brain health.Mentorship ProgramsMentoring is so important in a child's life that Hillcrest has been devoted to mentoring programs for more than 25 years. Research is conclusive that children who are mentored perform better in school, they are less likely to abuse alcohol and drugs, and they have healthier relationships with their families.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
