Overview

Mission

Promote the general welfare of deaf and hard of hearing people; develop a better understanding of the deaf community by the general public; cooperate with all public, private, religious agencies, and governmental departments and other institutions to advance these purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
