Overview

Mission

To improve the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families across their lifetime by providing educational and social opportunities to enhance development of individual potential while advocating for supports and services in the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Social, recreation and educational programming year-round for both youth and adults to develop social and communication skills, independence, and self-confidence while striving to reach their fullest potentials and greatest quality of life. This is done through over 200 events and activities providing thousands of hours of socialization for those with developmental disabilities and thousands of hours of respite for their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filed totals do not add up.
