Overview

Mission

Providing an innovative and family oriented, christian community that provides opportunities in all aspects of life for adults with special needs. Services include vocational programs and housing.

What it reported doing in 2024

The residential program provides a secure, supervised living environment for adults with special needs. The center is licensed by the Texas department of human services as a type "a" personal care home. The group homes provide living accomodations for thirty-three individuals. Goals are set in the areas of daily living skills and responsibilities, personal needs, and social interaction. The associates have the benefit of planned recreational activities, shopping, sports, gardening, tending to animals and other opportunities. Aldersgate's primary focus is on each associate, while living in the homes, and / or working in teh vocational programs. This focus helps them to become self sufficient, to know their self-worth and to develop the ability to reach their potential in all aspects of their lives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
