Overview
Mission
Disability service provider network, inc. (dspn) is a private, statewide, not-for-profit whose purpose is to provide support to people with disabilities. Dspn represents the interests of disability service providers that provide both residential and non-residential services, including center-based and supported employment, job training and placement, competitive integrated employment, care management, community based residential facilities (cbrfs), adult family homes (afhs), supported living arrangements, day services, early intervention, and other services that enable people with disabilities and economic disadvantages to live and work in their local communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Dspn provides quality assurance, administrative, and vendor training services under a contract with the Wisconsin department of transportation. Requirements of the contract include: a) project cost accounting and containment; b) maintenance of a continuous quality assurance program including announced and unannounced inspections; c) providing education and training opportunities to vendors; and d) providing ongoing technical assistance to both the department and to the janitorial and landscaping vendors servicing the safety rest areas along the Wisconsin highway system. Vendors of janitorial and landscaping services in this project are nonprofit community rehabilitation programs (crps).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
