St. Mary's Home for Boys

What St. Mary's Home for Boys does

St. Mary's Home for Boys is a private nonprofit residential treatment facility established in 1889 and headquartered at 16535 SW Tualatin Valley Highway in Beaverton, Oregon. The organization provides residential treatment, day treatment, outpatient mental health, group and family counseling, and specialized programs to at-risk boys ages 12-17 experiencing emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges, including those with histories of abuse, delinquency, substance abuse, and sexual offending behaviors. Capacity stands at up to 67 residential youth and approximately 25-35 Day Treatment students for a combined reach of roughly 100+ youth served annually. The service model is built around a multidisciplinary clinical team (clinical director, Master's-level case managers, licensed therapists, special educators, psychologists, vocational specialists, and recreational counselors) delivering evidence-based interventions including Collaborative Problem-Solving, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, trauma-informed care, and CPI de-escalation, with a 1996-established Sexual Harmful Treatment Program (18-24 month curriculum) as a key specialized offering. On-campus education is delivered via the Levi Anderson Learning Center with individualized education plans and mainstreaming support.

The business model is a hybrid nonprofit funding structure rather than a traditional commercial GTM. Approximately 70% of revenue is secured through recurring government contracts with the State of Oregon — specifically Oregon Department of Human Services Child Welfare and Oregon Youth Authority — that pay per-placement for residential treatment. Educational funding flows in from local school districts and the Northwest Regional Education Service District for Day Treatment programming. The remaining ~30% is generated through fundraising channels including direct mail, corporate sponsorship, foundation appeals, and signature events such as the Mending Hearts Luncheon (which raised $758,260 in 2026 with matching), the Pitch Tournament, and the Summerfest BBQ. There is no direct-to-consumer marketing motion; the admissions coordinator screens referrals through DHS, OYA, and single case agreements, and the organization accepts out-of-state referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined contractually with public payors and school districts, supplemented by charitable contributions. The reported 80% graduate success rate — defined as youth returning to family, transitioning to less structured care, or gaining employment — anchors both referral demand and donor support.
