Overview
Mission
The Ability Collective of Barry County is organized exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to empower individuals with disabilities and their families to thrive in their own communities. This is achieved by providing access to local resources, support services, and community integration programs designed to enhance independence and quality of life.
What it reported doing in 2025
The 2025 Community Solutions Assessment was conducted to better understand the needs, barriers, and opportunities shaping the inclusion, accessibility, and overall well-being of people with disabilities across Barry County. Our goal was to listen to community members, partners, and organizations in order to identify practical, collaborative solutions that reflect real experiences and priorities. To gather a complete picture, we used three complementary methods in addition to preliminary asset mapping: Meetings with local organizations, service providers, and community leaders to explore existing efforts, resource gaps, and partnership opportunities. A community survey to collect both quantitative and qualitative data on local challenges and ideas for improvement. Listening sessions with residents, caregivers, and people with lived experience of disability or other barriers to inclusion. Together, these data sources elevate the collective voice of the community and ensure that future planning efforts are grounded in what matters most to the people of Barry County.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
