In the late 1980s, when the state shut down many mental health facilities, people diagnosed with mental illness moved from treatment centers back into the community. In 1988, the Genesis Club was founded as a free, nontraditional mental health nonprofit that uses basic human rights as its guideline for service. Since then, the club has grown tremendously. The Genesis Club serves more than 700 members each year, offering career counseling and help with getting education and housing. In 2011, about 160 members of Genesis Club went back to work, earning a total of $1.16 million in salaries. The Genesis Club is funded mostly with state money. The rest of its support comes through fundraising, grants and donations. (Video)

More than 100 years old, I trace my roots back to the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. I was one of the first employers to provide group life insurance (in 1934) and paid vacations (1937). During World War II, I made bombsights, rifles and engine parts. In the 1940s, I introduced several large digital calculating machines, and in 1957, the computer language FORTRAN. I made early supermarket checkout stations, automatic teller machines and test-scoring machines for schools. I take in more than $100 billion annually, and have more than 400,000 employees and 500,000 shareholders. One of my oldest mottos is “THINK.” Who am I?
