Overview

Mission

Community Integrated Support Services- To support the enhancement of the quality of life for people with autism and other developmental disabilities, their families and their communities by delivering programs with compassion, generosity of spirit and excellence.

What it reported doing in 2024

P.A.I.N.T (Promoting Arts & Individual Nature Talents) P.A.I.N.T. is a special space that serves to help the individual grow through exploring the creative arts with 2,770 sq. ft. of open art studio space. Participants explore many aspects of creati through painting, drawing, video making, crafts, and special projects. Special events are common, and open studios are offered to the public on weekends during high retail seasons. The program is developing a robust online presence offering art for donations to P.A.I.N.T. Many field trips will be scheduled during the week. Getting the artists out into nature is important. Also, fun social activities are constantly on the calendar. Art is a great bridge of communication. It is a won way for our community to extend itself into the greater Brentwood Business Community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% 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 most voting board members are independent. 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.
