Overview

Mission

The mission and objective of the ADSCC is to improve the quality of life and the welfare of deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind senior residents of Arizona.

What it reported doing in 2025

The purpose of the ADSCC is to form a state-wide organization to ensure appropriate services and communication access for the benefit of deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind senior residents at senior citizen housing, nursing complexes, and elsewhere within the state. Offers social events, seminars, and support services/programs to local deaf and hard of hearing senior citizens.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
