Overview

Mission

Rehabilitation services and education for special needs individuals.

What it reported doing in 2011

In 2011, Absolute Vibration helped develop Ecstatic Dance LIVE in Oakland, which serves 200-300 weekly and 1000's throughout the years. AV has continued to record CD's through its Mentoring Program and provided weekly music therapy service to over 200 individuals with special needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
