Annual Report (FY25)
When Foundation 2 Crisis Services was founded in 1970, it was with the simple belief that people in crisis deserve someone to show up for them. With compassion, with care and without judgment. That belief is still at the center of everything we do. We’ve changed a lot over the years, but the core of who we are has not.
This year’s annual report is framed around our six agency values that guide our work: Compassionate Care, Inclusion, Integrity, Community Collaboration, Innovation and creating A Great Place to Work. You’ll see how these values are highlighted in the following pages, but it’s not just in what we say. It’s in how we show up for our clients, our staff and the communities we serve every day. From a youth finding safety in our shelter, to a counselor supporting someone through a mental health crisis, to the
partnerships we build across our community. Our values are always at work.
Being rooted in something strong gives us space to grow. We’re fortunate that our founders planted those roots well. Their early vision for a compassionate response to the community created a foundation that still holds firm today, even as we rise to meet new challenges in the services we offer, the way we support our team and the way we show up for the community.
This report is a reflection of that ongoing growth, a look at how our agency values continue to guide our work and shape our future. Thank you for supporting us as we continue to evolve and stay grounded in what matters most.
