Overview
Mission
FARE-Cle Community Fund believes all people should have access to work and community activities regardless of ability or financial means. We provide customized transportation for people unable to drive due to cognitive/medical/or neurodiversity. FARE-Cle promotes independence, provides access to opportunity and fosters understanding in the community.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, FARE-Cle Community Fund served 33 individuals with Intellectual disability, blindness, Alzheimer's disease and autism. 2970 rides were provided in 2025. 100% of the rides were used for learning, employment or community activities. Riders were able to develop healthy habits through exercise programs, improve communication through speech sessions they attended, and earn recognition for attendance and dependability at work.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 75% for direct work, and 25% for grants.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and liabilities are high compared with assets.
