As a Community Nonprofit Mental Health Center, Relate provides mental health services to a variety of clients in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Their services are provided regardless of the client’s ability to repay and the majority (61%) of the clients served are low- and moderate-income. Relate has also created a partnership with the State of Minnesota and local school district to provide free mental health services to students. More than 300 youth are serve each quarter through this program, many of whom would not have received mental health support otherwise. Relate also partners with local foodshelves and other nonprofits to provide free mental health to support individuals and families in need. Since the majority of Relate’s programs and services are targeted to low- and moderate-income individuals, a bank donation to support these programs would receive positive consideration as a qualified CRA investment to a community development nonprofit.
