Overview
Mission
To secure resources to be distributed to support programs for the benefit of children with special needs in lehigh and carbon counties
What it reported doing in 2024
The primary goal of the facility/support dog program is to provide support for our students. Our students arrive at school with diverse, and complex emotional, behavioral, mental health, physical and academic needs. The program is designed to support the learning atmosphere while providing added warmth and comfort of our school environment. A service dog is a dog that has been individually trained to perform work or tasks to assist a person with a disability . A facility dog is a type of support dog that is trained, it does not assist its handler, but instead provides comfort to others. A facility dog improves the climate by providing more social and emotional support at all levels. This can be accomplished in several ways, including: emotional support: a facility dog is highly intelligent and can sense certain human emotions. The dog knows when to gently make body contact to calm the student. The presence alone of the dog will reduce anxiety in some students.reward/teaching: a facility dog can be used as an incentive for students, and this can be tied into a school's pbis model. Animal-assisted activities: a facility dog can be used in moments when some students are not engaged and alone.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
