Overview

Mission

Crawford county opportunity center is an organization creating opportunities for persons with disabilities to develop their full potential in society.

What it reported doing in 2024

Job training - training for developmentally disabled persons through contracts with local business - serves approximately 65 clients. This program also includes program operation costs of the sharing spaces kitchen. Services provided include co-packing, ingredient ordering, catering, product research and development, and production of wholesale or custom orders.

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.
