Overview
Mission
The Friends Organization uses funds for the benefit of the clients and staff of the North Mississippi Regional Center (NMRC). All funds received come from donations, dues, and raffle sales which are held throughout the year. Money raised by the Friends Organization is used to fund special projects and purchase specialized equipment to enhance the NMRC clients' quality of life. For example, the Friends Organization has funded the building of a deck at the NMRC Activities Building, a pavilion in the center of the NMRC campus, and purchased adaptive wheelchair swings, patio furniture, grills, etc for the benefit of the NMRC clients. The Friends Organization also sponsors memorials, the NMRC's Employee of the Month program, and Employee of the Year program.

Client/patient and caretaker programs and awards including NMRC Employee of the Month/Year Program
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
