Overview

Mission

Brighton provides family & community education and development services to children with disabilities or delays empowering them to achieve their individual potential making them successful in every community.

What it reported doing in 2024

3. The special education support services (sess) program provides classroom and hands on training to parents of children with disabilities, young adults with disabilities and community members in the areas of self, idea and general advocacy. All training for parents of children with disabilities and young adults (ages 15-22) with disabilities are provided through cirricula which allows a hands on learning environment. The training provided through the sess program works to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing them a voice until their own voice can be heard.

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

SUPPORTED - 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.
