Overview

Mission

Providing mental health services for deaf victims of crime and their families including deaf victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and rape. Our services included crisis intervention, advocacy, case management, free outpatient counseling, programming for deaf teens to educate them about substance use prevention and leadership skills and 24-hour crisis videophone and chat/text services that are provided to deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, late-deafened and hearing individuals and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 97% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
