What it reported doing in 2024

The children's residential program serves children with intellectual and developmental disabilities between the ages of 11 and 20 in a home environment. This licensed staffed residential program provides a safe and supportive home environment for up to five individuals with developmental disabilities in each home. The goal of the program is to increase independence in daily living and to reduce challenging behaviors. This is achieved by teaching social and living skills, and by providing opportunities to integrate into the community through recreation, cultural activities, and community events. This program currently serves three children in one home.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
