Expanded Mental Health Services of Chicago NFP, a tax-exempt nonprofit that receives significant public funding to perform services also offered by the state, was approved to receive a $250,000 grant in FY2024 for a program titled the Kedzie Center, according to passed legislation data extracted from the Illinois General Assembly’s FY2024 budget (Public Act 102-6 0698).

This appropriation represents state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.

Founded in 2010, Expanded Mental Health Services of Chicago NFP states that its mission is: “The mission of the Kedzie Center is to provide accessible, culturally informed, quality mental health care to North River residents through the integration of clinical practice, education and evaluation, and the application of psychological insight to address community concerns, as informed by the community and in collaboration with local residents and partners.”

In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $2,002,430 in total revenue.

The nonprofit listed $154,014 in contributions overall. It also reported $154,014 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.

At the beginning of 2024, Expanded Mental Health Services of Chicago NFP had $1,373,160 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $2,385,500, indicating a significant 73.7% growth in overall holdings.

However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.

Expanded Mental Health Services of Chicago NFP is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.

In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.

According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
