Overview

Mission

To provide services that improve the quality of life of individuals with physical and other disabilities and to prepare them to function as independently as possible. The center is committed to: provide quality programs and services for people with disabilities and support their families, create an environment that fosters confidence and dignity, and to offer an opportunity for people with disabilities to develop to their maximum potential.

What it reported doing in 2024

Adult day program - through activities and experiences, adults over 21 are supported in the development of life skills and personal interest topics as they progress towards greater independence and expanded community inclusion. Working with music professionals to appreciate, interpret and play various styles of music culminated into the recording of a music video. Exploring the works of various artists led to developing their own personal interpretation of specific works and styles of art. Making and delivering cards to a hospital and nursing home, volunteering at a therapeutic riding stable, and running a donation drive for a local animal shelter, are some of the ways participants are included in and contribute to their community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
