Currently, cfr offers separate settings for children in grades k - 10 with moderate to significant, diagnosed behavioral health disabilities whose needs cannot be met in a traditional school.cfr works with students to build the skills necessary to be successful in a less restrictive school setting so they can one day transition back to their home schools. Ultimately, cfr's aim is (cont'd on sch.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
