Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Family support program and partnership with families - f.a.c.t provides parent support partners. They attend school meetings with the family, locate resources, assist in setting goals and developing plans to achieve them, educate families on effective communication and provide a shoulder to lean on during stressful times. This is a peer parent to parent mentor model and all of the parent support partners are certified by the national federation of families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
