Bartlett Center board says financial and operational problems require dissolution
Bartlett Center's board adopted a formal resolution to dissolve the St. Joseph nonprofit, which provides childcare, youth programming and community outreach. The board said the organization's financial condition and operational status made dissolution appropriate. It reported that services, families and staff would begin transitioning to another provider on September 28, although the provider was not identified in the consulted report.

Donor relevance
Why this matters
Dissolution ends a long-standing local charity responsible for childcare and youth services. Families and employees depend on the promised transfer succeeding without gaps, while donors and creditors have an interest in how remaining assets and liabilities are handled.
