Overview
Mission
Raise awareness on Autism Issues
What it reported doing in 2024
Caterina Speaks has made several generous donations to support special education classrooms across the tri-state area. Additionally, we contributed to St. Christopher's Children's Hospital to support their Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs. We also helped launch Calm Cutz, a sensory-friendly salon designed to provide a calm environment for individuals with autism to get their hair cut. Furthermore, we donated to St. Mary's Elementary School to install an ADA-accessible entrance for their student in a wheelchair. Through our connections in the underground pipe utilities industry, we organize an annual golf outing to raise funds, allowing us to continue giving back to our local community of individuals with disabilities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
