Activities or mission (Part I)

TO IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM GAPS AND BARRIERS.

  • MENTAL HEALTH INNOVATION FOUNDATION (MHIF), LED BY KEN STINSON, HAD THE PIONEERING VISION TO ADDRESS GROWING MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES IN YOUTH BY EXPANDING THE CAPACITY FOR PEDIATRIC MENTAL HEALTHCARE. MHIF CONVENED A STAKEHOLDER GROUP TO ASSESS THIS NEED, INCLUDING CHILDREN'S NEBRASKA, CHI HEALTH IMMANUEL, BOYS TOWN, CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY AND BUSINESS LEADERSHIP. AS A RESULT, A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WAS INITIATED TO CONSTRUCT THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER AT CHILDREN'S NEBRASKA. THIS COMPREHENSIVE FACILITY FOR AGES 5-18 WILL PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES INCLUDING A CRISIS ASSESSMENT CENTER THAT PROVIDES CARE FOR YOUTH AND FAMILIES WHEN THEY HAVE AN URGENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEED OR HAVE A CRISIS THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE SUPPORT. SERVICES ALSO WILL INCLUDE INPATIENT TREATMENT, PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION, GENERAL PEDIATRIC CARE AND OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTHCARE, PLUS AMENITIES LIKE AN EXPERIENTIAL KITCHEN TO HELP PATIENTS PARTICIPATING IN CHILDREN'S EATING DISORDERS PROGRAM. UPON CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION, MHIF, WILL GIFT THE BUILDING TO CHILDREN'S NEBRASKA TO OWN AND OPERATE. CHILDREN'S WILL BEGIN SERVING YOUTH IN JANUARY 2026.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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 11 November 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.
