Additionally, palm beach county's program quality assessment tool administered by prime time has previously ranked our afterschool programs within the highest tier for quality. In addition to our educational and programming offerings, this past year, achievement centers for children & families served 117,497 meals and snacks to children while participating in our programs, as well as hundreds of food items provided to the community through open access to our little free pantries. For individuals requiring more intensive support, we offer specialized case management services through our family support program. In the past year, we've witnessed significant engagement, with 685 workshop participants, 205 individuals seeking in-depth services through "achievement plans,- and our team facilitating over 900 referrals for childcare, food assistance, financial assistance, housing, and mental health support. Accf is unwavering in its commitment to delray's under-resourced population, offering vital programs, resources, and crisis support to ensure the safety, nourishment, and education of children and families.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
