Overview

Mission

To promote and protect the rights of people with intellectual developmental disabilities to be included as a natural and integral part of community life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Advocacy: individual advocacy services were provided to over 254 persons with intellectual developmental disabilities, with the emphasis on integration in schools and adult community activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 81% 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

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
