Ensuring access to care.
The Brookline Center endures as an independent, community-based health center because of sound fiscal management.
Revenue
Insurance and fees cover less than 20% of The Brookline Center’s revenue base. Although health insurance is mandatory in Massachusetts, low- and moderate-income individuals and families may often experience gaps in coverage, while others may have insurance that does not cover the duration, frequency, or type of care they require. As a result, we depend on philanthropy which, in 2024, contributed $3.1 million to the Center’s income. Contributions by private individuals, companies, and foundations help ensure that adults and children who need our help can find outstanding, affordable, comprehensive care.
Expenses
Our 2024 operating budget was $18 million. We carefully manage our finances to make sure every donation has the intended impact. This year, 77% of our operating budget focused on mental health programs, services, and clinic operations.
