What it reported doing in 2020
Vocational services - the vocational services program assists developmentally disabled individuals in matching their interests, skills and talents with jobs and/or volunteer opportunities. Assistance is given to help people find employment in the community and then keep it. Staff offer a variety of short and long-term supports including assessment, hands-on job coaching and advocacy with employers as needed. Positions range from manufacturing to food service to retail and clerical. (149 people served).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 86% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
