Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
- $51,106 spent. The Advocacy Action Network (AAN) is an umbrella organization under which the KY Mental Health Coalition (KMHC) and the United 874K Disabilities Coalition (874K) operate as programs. AAN does not provide direct services, but supports the work and services of its two programs by extending their reputation and identification through social media, work with news media and direct communications with public and policymakers.
- $12,207 spent. KMHC brings together the collective voices of its 80 organizational members representing consumers, family members, advocates and providers. Their work is to educate the public and policymakers about behavioral health issues (mental health and addictions) and to increase the resources necessary to meet Kentucky's human service needs, thus improving the mental health and well-being of all Kentuckians. Approximately one in five Kentuckians (20% of the population) will be affected by a behavioral health issue in their lifetime.
- $6,096 spent. 874K was formed in 2001 to advocate for the 874,000+ Kentuckians identified by the 2000 Census as having a disability that interfered with at least one task of daily living. The coalition is cross-disabilities and has been convening large numbers of Kentuckians with disabilities in Frankfort during the legislative sessions since its formation. Their goal is to "put a face" on the issue of disabilities in Kentucky, to educate the public and policymakers about the unmet needs of individuals with disabilities and the return on investment gained when those needs are addressed.
