Overview

Mission

Disability resource center offers individual and group life skills coaching programs for people with disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Assisting consumers with disabilities to achieve empowerment and self- determination through independent skills training, peer mentoring, providing information & referral, advocacy ( both individual and systems) and transition (high school to young adult, movement from institution to community based and divergent-keeping people from going into a nursing home).

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
