See Schedule O for continuationsThis year, our programs reached thousands across Georgia through multi-day classes, peer-led presentations, and support groups, ensuring that no one walks alone on their mental health journey. To meet growing demand, we certified 167 Program Leaders through 24 Train-the-Trainer events, equipping them with the tools to deliver high-quality programming in virtual, hybrid, and in-person formats. These leaders are the backbone of our outreach, facilitating 1,313 NAMI Family and Peer Support Groups that served 11,046 participants statewide.We delivered 48 educational programs to 459 participants and hosted 540 peer-led presentations, reaching 7,551 individuals with messages of hope and understanding. Our presence at 127 community events engaged an additional 3,141 participants, spreading awareness and reducing stigma across diverse communities. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and culturally responsive, serving individuals of all ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and socio-economic backgrounds. We responded to 1,425 Resource/Helpline calls and emails, offering personalized support and guidance when it was needed most. NAMI Georgia serves people with mental health conditions, regardless of their backgrounds. Our demographic data reflects the diversity of Georgia. Of those we served, 56% identified as female, 41% as male, and less than 2% as gender fluid. Racial and ethnic representation included 42% Black, 40% White, 6% Multi-Race, 2% Asian/Pacific Islander, 1% American Indian/Alaskan Native, and less than 1% Hispanic or Latino.

Income data revealed that 22% of those we served earned less than $20,000 annually, underscoring the critical need for free services.We expanded key initiatives like NAMI Frontline Wellness, Sharing Hope, and Compartiendo Esperanza, training new facilitators to reach underserved communities. In partnership with Alliant Health Solutions, we launched a groundbreaking educational program for healthcare workers, addressing workplace violence and burnout-a vital step in strengthening Georgia's healthcare infrastructure. Thanks to support from SAMHSA, we exceeded grant goals by 13%, with 98% of program graduates reporting improved confidence and ability to lead. These leaders impacted 1,600 lives and provided 346 community-based referrals, demonstrating the ripple effect of our training programs.Public Awareness and Advocacy:To realize its vision of a Georgia where all affected by mental illnesses find Hope, Help and Acceptance, NAMI Georgia employs strategic annual plans to raise mental health awareness. By forging partnerships with key stakeholders in both public and private sectors, we advanced policy reforms statewide and energized our grassroots advocates.In the first year of the 2025-2026 Biennial, under the banner "Just Do It," NAMI Georgia amplified voices in mental health advocacy, contributing to the passage of 12 out of 89 historic mental health-related bills. This legislative and financial investment in Georgia's mental health infrastructure included measures for reductions in prior authorization requirements, additional provisions and resources for the Health, and Well-being of Students, increasing paths for provider licensures, addressing co-occurring disorders, and extending the Behavioral Health Reform and Innovation Commission by two years.Our advocacy efforts were robust: NAMI Georgia staff and affiliate leaders hosted seven NAMI Smarts classes, training 45 eager advocates. Over 1,100 advocates participated in a virtual Mental Health Day at the Capitol, showing their support for mental health for all. This year, NAMI Georgia facilitated 30 constituent meetings with legislators, a 50% increase over last year. Additionally, our "Just Do It" initiative led to 16,500 Act Now Actions taken through Quorum connecting people with their legislators, sharing real-time advocacy updates and facilitating grassroots-based support for mental health.Affiliate Development and Member Resources: NAMI Georgia welcomed NAMI Paulding as the 23rd affiliate in Georgia and saw affiliate-based programming grow by 2%. In addition, NAMI Georgia received interest from four additional counties across Georgia who are in the process of starting a NAMI in their neighborhood. NAMI Georgia staff supports 198 volunteer affiliate leaders across 23 affiliates statewide, serving approximately 1,197 members. This year, we continued our Leadership NAMI Georgia curriculum, providing development training for affiliate leaders and emerging leaders. These leaders receive comprehensive training in leadership, finance, procedures, marketing, group dynamics, and resource research. They also stay informed with regular updates on advocacy initiatives, program opportunities, and best practices. In Fall 2024, NAMIWalks Georgia united 1,035 participants across 163 teams, raising $308,525-with 50% of funds reinvested locally. Recognized as a Top 10 NAMIWalks event, this celebration of community and resilience showcased the power of collective action and the shared belief that mental health matters. 1193798 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 34 1 1 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X X Kim H Jones 7702340855 4120 Presidential Parkway 200 Atlanta GA 30340 Jim Chafin III President 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Tami Brown Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Gary Yandura Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Monique Carter Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Natasha Daniels Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dianne Hiltman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Brown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Wendell Fields Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Tompkins Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marcus Green Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alduan Tartt Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Debbie Stevens Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sabrina Fitze Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bradley Harder Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frederick Andrew Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Reiser Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim H Jones Executive Director 40.00 X 102802 0 38117 102802 0 38117 1 0 0 0 0 12835 282909 645446 673144 1614334 22476 22476 109403 108694 709 709 709 20727 282909 20727 0 Miscellaneous revenue 900099 136 136 136 1637655 136 0 23185 138499 90024 41550 6925 567904 509151 6645 52108 1913 1531 191 191 32156 29787 661 1708 48413 36337 8309 3767 47000 47000 30000 30000 79442 16150 12241 51051 81328 78860 177 2291 4039 1604 2185 250 10967 8228 2195 544 34884 29190 2847 2847 39149 37652 1456 41 2030 1624 203 203 8063 6450 806 807 Training subcontractors 152122 152122 Contract labor 73313 38765 5226 29322 Prog training supplies 49363 49363 Dues and subscriptions 48207 34065 3125 11017 54159 42895 5352 5912 1502951 1193798 140169 168984 667574 573756 11554 0 101633 126888 16203 19297 58463 56831 3662 1632 99910 297122 68113 43713 1500 1500 970149 1063908 91665 84777 31959 23693 71809 47154 195433 155624 X 602080 703227 172636 205057 774716 908284 970149 1063908 134704 -1136 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2040061 1672065 1357505 1430533 1614334 8114498 2040061 1672065 1357505 1430533 1614334 8114498 8114498 2187 2854 3573 13010 22476 44100 8158598 43487 0.99460 0.99740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 77811 77811 1425140 1502951 225148 56287 0 0 227473 227149 235528 225148 915298 1372947 95440 57613 75527 77811 306391 56868 56787 58882 56287 228824 343236 58463 56831 1632 1632 Deferred lease obligation 47154 47154 1770604 -1136 113358 112222 1658382 -20727 -20727 1637655 1637036 113358 20727 134085 1502951 0 1502951 Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: Special events expenses -20,727.
