Overview

Mission

To provide services to persons with disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2013

Early Childhood Services: Home and community services for families with children 0-3 who are at risk for developmental delay. Includes service coordination, case management, therapies and early intervention.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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

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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
