Madsen, Ph.D. Executive Director 2021 Lakes Center for Youth &Families (LC4YF) has been a pillar in Forest Lake and surrounding communities for over 45 years, offering hope through Counseling, Intervention and Enrichment programs to help make positive changes in people's lives. LC4YF works with local school districts, but over the years has responded to evolving community needs by supporting individuals, young and old, couples and people trying to resolve complicated family issues. Revenue sources to support our mission have changed since LC4YF began in the late 1970s with programs to help keep young people out of trouble. Originally largely funded by government, we now must rely much more on harder4o-obtain government and foundation grants, and more importantly, donations from individuals and corporations. As we expand to meet rising demand in the greater Forest Lake area, offering our services to anyone in need, we ask members of our community to support us in achieving our goals.

A nonprofit should strive to efficiently and effectively use funds to achieve its mission, balancing the needs to expend the majority of its funds on current programs with the need to invest in the infrastructure and administrative capacity necessary to carry out its mission over the long-term According to the Charities Review Council, at least 65% of an organization's 3 -year average annual expenses should be used to directly support programming The ideal range, averaged over three years, is approximately from 70-90%. If less than 70% of the organization's expenses are used to directly support programming, donors may question whether the organization's funds are being used efficiently and effectively. If greater than 90% of the organization's expenses are used to directly support programming; donors may question whether the organization is starving its infrastructure (i.e. not spending enough on administrative costs). How we spend our funds In 2017 through 2019, on average we spent 88% of our resources on program expenses. In 2020, we spent 85% on program expenses. Because of this, and many other requirements, LC4YF has received the "Meets Standards" designation from the Charities Review Council. How we are funded • Insurance reimbursements • Grants • Municipalities • Civic Groups • Organizations & Businesses • Individual Donors • Contracts • Charitable Gaming • Fundraising Events We have a gap in funding . Here's how you can help . In 2020 and 2021 we received two PPP loans that were in response to COVIDI9. Each was over $120,000 and helped to fill the void in revenue during this difficult time. Even with the PPP support, revenue fell short of expenses significantly. This was due to charitable gaming not in operation for six months, no events were held, grants were difficult to secure and individual and organization/business contributions were down slightly. Financial support from these sources is not always consistent year after year and non -profits always need to adjust and respond accordingly. In reviewing our mix of revenue sources, the main area we need to bolster is individual and business/organization donations. Lakes Center for Youth and Families (LC4YF) is a 501©3 non-profit organization. Contributions are 100% tax deductible under the law.

Throughout the past 45 years, the agency has grown and changed to meet the needs of the community. The mission of Lakes Center for Youth and Families (LC4YF) is to ensure the success of youth, adults and families through programming to meet the ever changing needs of our community. THE THREE MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS ARE: Counseling focuses on young children (age 3) through older adults (80s and beyond) via individual, couple, family, and group therapy. We seek to build and strengthen our community through our work with children, adults, and family systems. Life transitions, difficult circumstances, and mental health- related symptoms without support can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our counseling center uses evidence -based approaches and therapy to treat a variety of conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. Intervention focuses on youth and families primarily in grades K-12. It remains as it was 45 years ago, a program that keeps young people and first time offenders out of the court systems. We offer classes, individual programs, and groups to encourage and help youth develop healthy, positive decision-making skills. Enrichment focuses on youth primarily in grades 4 - 12 We provide afterschool programming and summer programming for children in grades 4 - 6 (free of charge) to learn positive decision-making skills. We partner with community agencies to provide a summer safety camp for children in grades 3 - 5. The Next 45 Years 2020 was a challenging year for many, LC4YF included. We are striving to recover financially and are enthusiastically continuing our growth and innovation to continue serving the community for the next 45 years! We hope you will join us!
