Overview

Mission

The disability resource center provides services, support and advocacy so that people with disabilities may thrive and actively participate within their community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The disability resource center provides services, support and advocacy so that people with disabilities may thrive and actively participate within their communities. Our services include 5 core services: peer support; informaiton and referral; advocacy-individual and systems; independent living skills training and transition from school to adult life and from institutional settings to community living; and employment and community first services which include direct service providers who work with individuals with disabilities in their own homes, community integration and employment services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 95% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
