Overview

Mission

The Center is a nonprofit, community speech and hearing clinic providing comprehensive care for children and adults having communication disorders.

What it reported doing in 2025

Speech language diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic remediation to individuals of all ages, with an emphasis on serving those individuals who cannot afford therapy. Perform hearing screenings and refer clients as needed to hearing specialists or physicians. In 2025, Capland Center served 93 new clients and provided 4,961.3 units of service and 1,449 sessions to these individuals. Texas counties served include Jefferson, Orange and Hardin.

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.
