Governmental Partners
Public funding provides a vital piece of our financial sustainability.
The Academy was founded in 2017 as one of the first public-private partnerships in mental health on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Since inception, the Academy maintains a diversified funding model based on an effective combination of state and county funding, as well as donations from the private sector. Every year, approximately 45% of the Academy’s budget is covered by a combination of funding from Manatee County government and Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF). The Academy raises the remaining 55% of its budget from the private sector, through individual and family donations, fundraising campaigns, charitable foundations and corporate donors.
