Overview

Mission

ConnectAbility's mission is to empower those with life altering disabilities and their caregivers to reach their fullest potential.

What it reported doing in 2024

Care Coordination: The Care Coordination program assist individuals with life-altering injuries and events connecting them with community resources for which they are eligible and entitled based on their needs. Additionally, this program acts as advocates and provides guidance and other resources as needed. The program serves those individuals, and their families, with Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Amputation and Stroke, and other related disabilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
