Overview

Mission

To promote mental health and disability rights.

What it reported doing in 2024

874K was formed in 2001 to advocate for the 874,000+ Kentuckians identified by the 2000 Census as having a disability that interfered with at least one task of daily living. The coalition is cross-disabilities and has been convening large numbers of Kentuckians with disabilities in Frankfort during the legislative sessions since its formation. Their goal is to "put a face" on the issue of disabilities in Kentucky, to educate the public and policymakers about the unmet needs of individuals with disabilities and the return on investment gained when those needs are addressed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
