Mission

Calidad Industries is dedicated to creating an inclusive workforce by providing employment opportunities for disabled individuals. Our mission is to promote meaningful work and support personal growth through tailored nonprofit job training programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Calidad was formed in 1989 to provide employment and life skills training to persons living with medically-certified physical, mental or psychological impairments. Calidad focuses on providing its employees living with severe and long-term disabilities with paid on-the-job skills training and stable employment. Additionally, calidad provides life skills training specifically developed to encourage personal and vocational growth and offers access to all of goodwill's workforce development services and computer literacy training to help participants secure and retain competitive employment. Calidad has been participating in the united states government contracts as set aside under the javits-wagner-o'day (jwod) act. Participating contracts are part of the abilityone program as implemented by sourceamerica. Calidad's employees with little or no work experience prior to their involvement with calidad perform 75% of all direct labor used to deliver contract services. Contract services range from custodial and food services to administrative support, warehousing, facilities maintenance, and mail room operations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and assets have declined or grown slowly.
