What it reported doing in 2024

Founded in 2019, our stomping ground (osg) is transforming northern Virginia. We address critical needs of people with developmental disabilities (dd) through three core initiatives:1-affordable housing: osg has secured stable, supportive housing for over 70 individuals with dd across seven partner sites.2-community engagement: with more than 100 hours of free monthly programming, we offer life skills workshops, social gatherings, and wellness activities that encourage interdependence and belonging.3-advocacy: osg advances policies that support people with dd by conducting research, collaborating with community partners, and driving systemic change.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
