What it reported doing in 2025
Autism Spectrum Behaviorial Learning Environment (ABLE) program offers a broad continuum of services to children and families of children diagnosed with high functioning Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and Asperger's Syndrome. The ABLE Program provides one-on-one supervision in a semi-secure residential environment for youth ages 6-21. The goal of the program is to successfully reintegrate each student back into his community, home and school by improving his quality of life making him as independent as possible. The ABLE program teaches life skills that children need to become active members of society. The program is equipped to provide special education and residential programming, as well as psychological and therapeutic services, as needed.Child & Adolescent Residential Environment Program (CARE) provides a structured environment for youth ages 6-21 in a staff-secure environment. The CARE program focuses on five essential areas: client's physical, educational, emotional, spiritual and social needs. Clients are taught life and relationship skills, then provided a consistent and structured environment to demonstrate those skills. Group and one-on-one counseling is provided as well as use of a psychologist and/or psychiatrist as the need occurs.The CARE program also involves the education of the clients. Gibault, Inc. houses and operates the "Holy Cross School" for which clients in the CARE program attend. Holy Cross School provides classes for grades K-12. It allows those clients who meet the state requirements to receive their high school diploma. Additionally, the school also provides the curriculum for students to obtain their GED.Gibault, Inc. also provides aftercare related to this program. This includes follow-up, analysis, and monitoring of clients who have been discharged. This may include face-to-face visits, telephone calls, and inquiries of the people who interact with the students on a day-to-day basis (ie employer, teacher, friend, etc). This program is to help make sure the clients make a successful transition back into their schools, families and communities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 79% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
