Overview

Mission

The organization supports and serves aging adults with developmental disabilities to promote their dignity and independence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide support to individuals, generally ages 50 years and older with developmental disabilities. The goal is to assist individuals with maintaining their independence and support them in continuing to be active members of their communities. Support includes education, referral, transition planning, retirement groups, in-home support, social clubs, supported living, and group recreation programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
