What it reported doing in 2024

Day and vocational program - the organization provides a variety of day services for adults and students, according to individual needs and preferences. These include school-to-work experience, vocational training within a workshop setting, and supported employment services including job placement, coaching and on-going employment support. A community options program also gives individualized support to people who volunteer in over 50 locations. This program includes job training, classroom instruction and internships. Some of the day and vocational program activities include:- source america - accesspoint ri, through its relatioinship with source america, holds a contract with the navy exchange stores on the newport navy base. This program employs twelve people with and without disabilities to clean over 72,000 square feet per day. The janitorial business is designed to train people in the janitorial field while providing a needed service to the exchange.- recreation programs - recreational programs are available at night and on weekends, as are various adult education programs.- personal care choice - the personal choice program is designed to give long term care medicaid eligible individuals more control over how they receive personal care services. The goal of the personal choice is to provide a home and community-based program where individuals who are eligible for long term care services have the opportunity to exercise choice and control (i.e., hire, fire, supervise, manage) individuals who provide their personal care, and to exercise choice and control over a specified amount of funds in a participant-directed budget. Participants choose a service advertisement agency and a fiscal agent to assist in making informed decisions that are consistent with their needs and that reflect their individual circumstances.-shared living matches people with disabilities with a host person or family who shares their home and provides the necessary support for the person with the disability.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
